In a Debut, a Broadway Singer Makes an Art of Insight By STEPHEN HOLDEN It is the rare singer who can negotiate the tricky, stream-of-consciousness folk-pop lyrics of Joni Mitchell, the art songs of Adam Guettel and traditional popular standards like "Come Rain or Come Shine" with equal insight and authority. But Judy Kuhn, the Broadway singer who has appeared in "Chess," "Les Misirables" and "She Loves Me," did exactly that in her revelatory cabaret debut at the Kaplan Penthouse at Lincoln Center on Saturday evening. Ms. Kuhn, who performed with a pop-jazz trio led by the pianist Jeffrey Klitz, has a clear sweet voice with a slightly metallic edge that she flexes along a stylistic continuum that runs from Laura Nyro to Betty Buckley, while shying away from their dramatic extremes. The material was arranged into a loosely knit song cycle beginning with Tom Waits's "I Don't Want to Grow Up" and ending with Ms. Nyro's "And When I Die," about a restless woman's decision to settle down and have a child and the joys and fears that kind of commitment entails. The turning point of the show and the concert's most inspired moment was Ms. Kuhn's version of "Let the Wind Carry Me," from Ms. Mitchell's album "Court and Spark." Ms. Kuhn found every psychological nuance in the feverish meditation of a boy-crazy teenager who fantasizes about becoming pregnant and whose rebellious attitude fuels some bitter cross-fire between her indulgent father and puritanical mother. - -- patrick (leader) np - lee brouwer - guitar concerto #6 "helsinki" [demime 0.97c removed an attachment of type application/ms-tnef which had a name of winmail.dat] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2002 21:13:24 -0500 From: Deb Messling Subject: Re: judy kuhn cabaret review - jc Nice article, although I'm really surprised that Stephen Holden had his Mitchell facts wrong! "Let the Wind Carry Me" is, of course, from "For the Roses."

I have heard of Judy Kuhn via SUNSET BOULEVARD (she played Betty Schaeffer to Glenn Close's Norma Desmond) and her song has this exquisite quality to it that I associate with Lea Salonga. And it was Judy Kuhn who sang the movie version of "Colors of the Wind" from POCAHONTAS, right? I wonder if Kuhn has solo CDs?

One of my colleagues at the University directed Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues" in the campus. Because she asked me to assist her during the three performances of the play, I naturally requested that I be assigned to assist in the sounds/music. I guess, its quite predictable that on the first performance, I played Joni's BLUE album while the guests and the audience were being shown their seats. I could see a lot of stares in my direction as "All I Want" progressed to "Little Green" to "The Last Time I Saw Richard". Many of those who were already in their seats, took time to come over to the control room and asked me the artist and album (most Filipinos do not know Joni at all). Naturally I gave them Joni's BLUE cd for inspection. I could sense the happiness from people when they stumble upon something they themselves discovered. Next night, I played Fred Simon's (yes, our very own Fred Simon) USUALLY/ALWAYS album, and maybe because the audience was quite different that night than the first night, those people who mustered enough courage to leave their seats and asked me where professors. Almost always they asked me if its available in the local Tower Records, and I told them to check out the internet instead. A few commented on the nice cover of Fred's album. On the last night, I played artists ranging from Mary Margaret O'Hara to John Pizzarelli to Tania Maria to Randy Vanwarmer. The questions were quite hard to deal this time because I am not sure if they referred to a song of the previous song or the one previous to that. Overall, it was quite a great experience for me to experiment sounds and meet people who connect to specific music. I don't know what kinds of people will go to the control room if I played Diamanda Galas!
