The Brownville Concert Series is thrilled to bring back Brownville favorites KT Sullivan & Mark Nadler in “Thanks for the Memory.” These two sit at the pinnacle of NY Cabaret. There are some performers who, though possessing completely different styles and personalities, blend in a wholly enjoyable way. The duo of KT Sullivan and Mark Nadler is a prime example of this phenomenon. They will perform in cabaret on Friday and Saturday, September 17 and 18, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, September 19, at 2:00 p.m. Sponsors are Blake and Julie Hurst, Lowell Fey, and Marian Andersen.

This show is based on one KT Sullivan & Mark Nadler performed for a packed house at The Green Room 42, NYC in May 2019, “Thanks for the Memory: 25 Years of Duets.” The show celebrated 25 years of their duo-ship. The show consisted of a dozen and a half classic numbers, performed practically non-stop, with vocals by the two of them and with Nadler at the piano. These two cabaret-enduring stars are favorites as individual artists, but even more so when they perform together.

KT Sullivan most recently starred with Steve Ross in The Irish Rep’s virtual presentation of “Love, Noël” after a sold-out run in the summer of 2019. KT was named artistic director of The Mabel Mercer Foundation in 2012. She starred in the Broadway revival of “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” and headlined for almost two decades in The Oak Room of The Algonquin Hotel. One of the shows she created there, “Rhyme, Women, and Song” was presented on PBS’ WNET 13 and her award winning Sondheim show with Jeff Harnar was filmed for PBS from the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. Besides regular appearances In such New York venues as The Laurie Beechman Theatre and Birdland, she stars annually at The Pheasantry in London, and has been showcased at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, The Spoleto Festival, The Chichester Festival, CLUB RaYé in Paris, and The Adelaide Festival in Australia. She guest starred on Garrison Keillor’s “Prairie Home Companion,” was the star vocalist on two tours of China with The Manhattan Symphonie, and was twice named one of The Top 100 Irish Americans by Irish America Magazine.
