K.T. Sullivan, the wife of Steve Downey '60, will perform at Hamilton College during Reunions '10, Friday, June 4 at 8:30 p.m. in Wellin Hall.
Ms. Sullivan, who was recently featured in The New York Times, is currently performing through April 10 at the Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel in New York.*
According to her Web site, The New Yorker calls KT Sullivan “as vocally, comically and theatrically assured as contemporary cabaret performers get”. She recently appeared at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC with Brian Stokes Mitchell in Broadway Today, at the Humanities Festival in Chicago with Dave Frishberg and at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall with Michael Feinstein. She is an annual headliner at the Oak Room of New York’s Algonquin Hotel, at Neue Galerie’s Café Sabarsky on Fifth Avenue, The Rrazz Room in San Francisco, Pizza on the Park and Jermyn Street Theatre in London. KT has headlined at Carnegie Hall, Town Hall, Lincoln Center, and The Caramoor Festival. She has performed internationally at The Spoleto Festival, The Nouvelle Eve in Paris, The Chichester Festival in England and the Adelaide Festival in Australia. She was a guest star on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion and has seven albums in worldwide distribution on the DRG label. Her latest recording Timeless Tunes with Jon Weber is available through CDBaby.com. Her Broadway credits include The Three Penny Opera with Sting, the play Broadway directed by George Abbot, and the leading role in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. She also toured in Annie Get Your Gun and was featured in a workshop production of Easter Parade with Tommy Tune. She received the “Mabel Award” for Lifetime Achievement from the Mabel Mercer Foundation and Liza Minnelli presented her with the Manhattan Association of Cabaret & Clubs’ Outstanding Female Vocalist Award. KT was named one of the top 100 Irish Americans by Irish America magazine and is married to outstanding Irish-American Steve Downey, President of the New York Browning Society.
*The Algonquin Hotel has another connection to Hamilton through alumnus Alexander Woollcott, Class of 1909, who was a member of the Algonquin Round Table, a group of journalists, editors, actors and press agents that met there on a regular basis in the early 1900s.
