I wanted to let you know about a wonderful new performance option called Melody by Leslie.
You may have seen me perform in the past with my a cappella quartet Route 66 or with Take Two Singers. I’ve been performing for more than 20 years! If you’ve ever seen me perform, you know I love to interact with the audience and get them involved. My microphone is wireless, so I have the ability to go out into the audience which is always a hit!
ALL THAT JAZZ is available for bookings in 2024, and features songs like ORANGE COLORED SKY, ALL OF ME, IT HAD TO BE YOU, WHEN YOU’RE SMILING, and many more terrific classics!
Some of the other themed shows I offer are:
Broadway Bound
Here Comes the Sun – perfect for summertime!
Hooray for Hollywood
Twist & Shout – 50’s
Flower Power – 60’s
I’ve Got That Lovin’ Feelin’ – perfect for February/Valentine’s!
And of course – Home for the Holidays – during November and December
They all run about 60 minutes, depending on how involved the audience gets!
