FEINSTEIN’S/54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents Sharron Matthews in Sharron Matthews: Girl Crush on Friday, May 26th, 2017, Named the “Redheaded Canadian Goddess of Cabaret” by the Scotsman Newspaper, “Best Cabaret Performance of 2015” (BroadwayWorld), “Best Cabaret Performer” (Toronto’s NOW Magazine), and the “#1 Cabaret in New York City in 2010” (NiteLife Exchange and WPAT Radio), Sharron returns to NY after her exciting 54 Below debut in November of 2016, and her two SOLD out shows at Joe’s Pub in 2010.
From Scotland to London, Toronto to New York and Vancouver to South Africa, Sharron Matthews’ cutting edge cabarets have won her awards, five star reviews and a dedicated world wide following of fans from ages 18 to 95.
Sharron has been lauded not only for her cabaret work (named “Best of the Fest” two years running by the Scotsman Newspaper at the Edinburgh Fringe) but also for her jubilant celebration of her own shape and form. As a result she has been featured in numerous main stream publications across the globe in articles dedicated to fashion and style (“Let Size Zeros EAT CAKE – The Toronto Star). Sharron’s articles written about self acceptance and body positivity, such as “Last Night Someone Called Me Fat…” have been read and share by tens of thousands on her social media platforms.
Matthews is not only a world class, much sought after cabaret artist, actress and singer but also a bad ass, body warrior and in collaboration with Canada’s Lunch Box Theatre in Calgary, Sharron developed and will premiere the ground breaking, body and life celebrating cabaret, GIRL CRUSH, in April of 2017, for a three week run.
GIRL CRUSH will have it’s US premiere at 54 Below/Feinstein’s in NY in May of 2017. Sharron Matthews: GIRL CRUSH is an inspiring, moving and hysterical musical journey that weaves Sharron’s singular re-imaginings of the diverse music of artists such as Kim Carnes, The Police, Blondie, Rick Springfield, Beyonce and Cyndi Lauper into tales of heartbreak, obsession, awe and love…a love that is breathtakingly shocking and unabashedly joyous.
GIRL CRUSH is a cabaret with a song and a story for everyone, it is a cabaret that will awaken your heart and mind…it is a cabaret that is FILLED with some of your favourite songs as you have NEVER heard them before…sung by an incomparable, internationally acclaimed artist at the top of her game.
