About the Show
Elvira Tortora reprises her 2024 Bistro Award-winning and MAC Award-nominated show The Bookmaker’s Daughter, the story of her childhood as the daughter of a bookie living and raising a family in Brooklyn, NY. With much love and good humor, Tortora shares her story through the songs of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, John Kander and Fred Ebb, Frank Loesser, Stephen Sondheim, and more spanning the 1960s through 2001. Directed by Lina Koutrakos with Musical Director/Arranger Gregory Toroian on piano, Tortora performed seven sold out shows at Don’t Tell Mama. Now, she brings her award-winning show to Boston on Saturday, May 2, 4PM, at Josephine's in the Napoleon Room at Club Cafe. "One of the most original, authentic, and real stories being told on the cabaret stages today...the show to see this season." ~ BroadwayWorld
