Called, “a true force of nature,” and "in a league of her own," by Clive Davis of The Times (UK) in TWO of his rare five-star reviews. We are thrilled to have Natalie join us with her show, "FOUR WOMEN: Nina, Lena, Abbey and Billie"and listen to her majestic voice as she performs the signature works of legends Nina Simone, Lena Horne, Abbey Lincoln, and Billie Holiday. You can expect a magical evening.
Natalie Douglas is a Nightlife, two-time Backstage Bistro, twelve-time MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs) & BroadwayWorld Best Cabaret Vocalist Award Winner and recipient of the Donald F. Smith & Margaret Whiting Awards from the Mabel Mercer Foundation. Natalie’s portrait also hangs on the legendary Birdland Jazz Club Wall of Fame.
Clive Davis writes: "A true force of nature, she squeezes a phenomenal amount of material into the evening. Yet by the end, you simply want her to carry on into the small hours. The artists she is celebrating were strong and often abrasive characters, and all of them had to contend with racism, yet Douglas’s narrative strikes a deft balance between politics and showbiz. Evoking the glory days of that left-wing Manhattan nightspot, Café Society, Douglas carried it off. When the mood takes her, she swings as stylishly as any jazz diva; with her Rubenesque figure and plunging cleavage she makes a mesmerizing blues mama as well. She is just as compelling in confessional Broadway mode, and that raucous giggle is the mark of an effervescent comedienne. Whenever she does a girlish double-take and screams “Awesome”, you might as well be listening to Kathy Griffin."
Her performances have brought crowds to their feet across the U.S. and the world and we are so proud to bring her amazing talent to you!
