Sussman’s is the story of a man who endures the trappings of a desk-bound attorney so he can fantasize about and then pursue his love of performing. But he’ll still consult. 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 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.
