Laura Bell Bundy, who was recently the standby for Kristin
Chenoweth's Glinda in Broadway's Wicked, will debut her new solo
show this fall.
On Oct. 4, the singer-actress will offer Shameless! The Life and
Times of Laura Bell Bundy at Joe's Pub. Produced by Lynn Shaw, the
9:30 PM concert will be directed by Jamie McGonnigal with musical
direction by John McMahon.
According to production notes, Shameless! tells the story of
"love and devotion, bitterness and betrayal. From Britney Spears and
Natalie Portman understudying her in Ruthless, to performing in two
of Broadway's biggest hits, the show will provide a bit of insight
into her blond ambition." Cabaretgoers can expect to hear original
tunes as well as songs from Bundy's theatre outings.
Laura Bell Bundy created the role of Amber von Tussle in the
Broadway cast of the Tony-winning musical Hairspray. Recently the
standby for Kristin Chenoweth's Glinda in Wicked, Bundy received
Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk nominations for her performance
as Tina Denmark in Off-Broadway's Ruthless. Her other theatrical
credits include Gypsy, Damn Yankees, Grease!, Pajama Game and The
Sound of Music. On screen Bundy has been seen in "Guiding Light," "Jumanji,"
"Life with Mikey," "Adventures of Huck Finn," "Home Improvement,"
"Strangers with Candy" and "Curtis Court."
