Jeremy Sussman: From No Business to Show Business

Jeremy Sussman returns to Don't Tell Mama in From No Business to Show Business. Through lesser-known and quirky novelty songs, as well as the standards of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Irving Berlin, Van Heusen and Burke, Adler and Ross, Cahn and Styne, Harold Rome and others, Sussman, an offbeat and captivating performer (usually in a hat), tells the story of how he charmed (mollified?) his parents by earning a law degree while privately pursuing his love of performing and piano-playing on the side. For Sussman, No Business is anything that is not Show Business. Directed by Geoff Stoner, with musical director Gregory Toroian on piano, Skip Ward on bass, and David Silliman on drums. “With a twinkle in his eye, here’s a guy whose glee and glibness glom onto quirky vintage novelty songs, and his joy is contagious.” ~ Rob Lester, NiteLife Exchange
