London was known for her smooth, smoky and sultry delivery of jazz-inspired tunes, many of which were written by her husband, jazz pianist Bobby Troup. London by Night also features songs written by Caroll Coates, Arthur Hamilton, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Willie Nelson, and more. (The September 26th show coincides with Julie London’s 98th heavenly birthday; The October 18th show coincides with Bobby Troup’s 106th heavenly birthday.)
Neiheisel was introduced to cabaret through Helen Baldassare’s Cabaret Performance Workshop. She has also studied with Marilyn Maye and the late musical director Barry Levitt. Her early mentors included Sue Matsuki, Susan Winter and Deb Berman, the director of Neiheisel’s 2018 MAC Award-nominated debut, Among the Stars. Her last show, Yesterday…Once More, celebrated the musical legacy of the Carpenters and was directed by Koutrakos, with musical direction and arrangements by Toroian.
