15 Stories

This brand-new show, debuted at 54 Below in NYC this past March with a “back by popular demand encore” in May, will take the audience on 15 different rides, performing songs that tell a narrative story from beginning to end – theater songs, country songs, pop songs, gospel and more. Leaving behind – for the moment – the “I love you,” “I wish I was in love,” and “Why don’t you love me” genres, each number is a unique journey for a unique character in a unique situation. The songs range from Bock and Harnick and Kurt Weill to Bobby Gentry, Lyle Lovett, Randy Newman, and Leiber and Stoller. This special engagement is an opportunity to see Alysha take on 15 different personae in one evening, featuring one of the most glorious voices there is to be heard anywhere.
