NiteLife Exchanges is a streaming video interview show, with hosts Scott Barbarino and Tony Javed. This week they welcome award-winning star of stage, screen and television, Terry Burrell.
Terry Burrell has most lately been performing Ethel, the story of Ethel Waters who rose from dire poverty to become one of the the biggest selling recording artist for Columbia Records, was nominated for an Oscar, and was once the highest paid actor on Broadway, Black or white. Ethel was fifteen years in the making and now represents a jewel in the crown of Burrell’s impressive career.
Her Broadway credits include Three Penny Opera, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Swinging On A Star, Into The Woods, Dreamgirls, Honky Tonk Nights, Eubie and the first London production of Showboat as Julie. In regional theatre, Burrell was nominated for the Helen Hayes Best Actress In a Musical award for her portrayal of Queenie in Duke Ellington’s Queenie Pie. Regional credits are exceptionally too numerous to mention. She’s also a seasoned cabaret artist who’s performed her nightclub act for audiences from Monte Carlo to the Caribbean and for corporate clients like IBM, Avon and The National Grocers Association. Her work also includes television commercials, radio voice-overs and industrials, plus several Jazz In July concerts with Dick Hyman, Lyrics and Lyricists at the 92nd Street Y, The Duke Ellington Orchestra in Venice, Italy and most recently for the jazz festival in Oslo Norway.
