Cabaret singer, Cindy Firing, is thrilled to launch two new projects with her powerhouse
artistic team – musical director, John Cook, and director, Marshall Mays. The first is her solo show titled “You & I, Cindy Firing pays tribute to Barbara Cook” which will be presented this spring in Chicago and New York. Later this summer, she’ll team up with her duet partner, Josephine Sanges, to perform their new show “Carry On.” Together, they explore the myriad ways to go, whether it’s traveling light, having fun or being wary.

Cindy’s first solo cabaret venture, Brass Ring, had success in Chicago at Davenport’s and in Philadelphia at Dino’s Backstage. She has also appeared at Victory Garden’s Theatre, Park West, Drew’s on Halsted, Theater 773, as well as Jazz at the Bistro and KDHX Stage in St. Louis. Founder of “Hush,” Cindy has created a cabaret series dedicated to creating intimate evenings featuring everything from abridged operas to reviews of The Great American Songbook. The critics agree that there is nothing to be silent about!

Cindy is also the concert program director for the Orvieto Musica Presents concert series which offers free concerts in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. A graduate of the Pennsylvania State University’s theater department, she honed her stage skills in Off-Off Broadway and operas before succumbing to the seduction of cabaret. She is a proud member of the Actors’ Equity Association, the Chicago Cabaret Professionals and the Manhattan Association of Cabarets.
