*NOTE:
These shows have kept audiences coming back,and a vast array of
character actresses working, and for that, I am "eternally" grateful....
Aside
from theatre, KATHY, AKA "BABE" ROBINSON, has made a fulfilling
and "memorable" living in the Piano Bar/Cabaret circuit. BABE has
worked half her life (DON'T do the math, that's between 40 and
death!), entertaining audiences in Manhattan, Boston, Key West,
St. Thomas, and Mykonos, Greece with her signature mix of standards,
jazz, soulful ballads and high energy performance of Broadway and
classic rock. Her percussive contributions bring new meaning to
"Catholic Rhythm!"
Her
current CD, "SELECTIONS FROM THE BARRED" with BOBBY PEACO,
is a mix of her Piano Bar favorites and is available @ all of her
appearances (she's probably got a few in her purse too!).
