“BUT BEAUTIFUL…A TRIBUTE TO JULIE WILSON” This is a tribute show to Broadway, TV and Cabaret icon, the grand dame Julie Wilson! Sue will sing a program of Julie's signature tunes all done her way. As the first recipient of the Julie Wilson Award bestowed by the Mabel Mercer Foundation, Julie hand-picked Sue for this honor and soon became Sue's mentor and friend.Julie made her Broadway debut in the 1946 revue Three to Make Ready. In 1951, she moved to London to star in the West End production of Kiss Me, Kate and remained there for four years, appearing in shows such as South Pacific and Bells Are Ringing while studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. Additional Broadway credits include The Pajama Game (1954), Jimmy (1969), Park (1970), and Legs Diamond (1988), for which she received a Tony Award nomination as Best Featured Actres...

In this show I put together a cast of singers that sing songs traditionally sung by the opposite sex. Your venue can choose the theme...do you want a Las Vegas Night with the gals singing Frank, Sammy, Dean or Tony and the boys doing Keely Smith, Lola Falana or even Celine Dion? Or a Broadway Backwards (type show) where the guys and gals sing opposite theatrical roles? We can do a Jazz night with the boys singing Ella, Peggy, Rosemary, Carmen and the ladies singing Al Jerreau, Louis Prima, Mel Torme? Or a County Night! Are you doing a fund raising Las Vegas Night? Let us bring that show to you! YOU get to hand pick your show theme and can even request the singers we will tribute and then just leave the rest to me! - Graphic by: Drawception.com 

In this show we ask the singer to select a work of art...anything from classic to sacred to modern to pop to contemporary...and they have to sing a song inspired by that painting. This show comes with a video component where the work of art is shown as the singer is performing. This is an educational and inspired show because it offers a really eclectic array of art work and historic information about the works of art. Great for an arts club or younger audience or school.It can be performed with a smaller cast doing several works of art. It can also be performed with just piano or with a full band depending no the venue's needs and budget.

This show brings a taste of the New York Cabaret scene to your home town.

These 4 shows feature several legends in one show with either one singer singing all the songs or a full cast.

The People You Should Know started when I began to review. As I found incredible new talents, I would produce a show featuring 3 people as a way of presenting them to the New York City Cabaret/Jazz community. Do you have talented locals? Why not let Matsuki Productions come into your home town Theater Group; Performance Center; Senior Center; Children’s Community Center; Church or venue and produce a local “Idol” type talent show which will culminate in a full show and with the prize winner being offered a spot in one of The People You Should Know shows in New York City or a 1 hour show at your venue!

Take two sultry, sexy, multi-award winning, funny ladies. Add amazing voices (if we do say so ourselves!), interpretations, heart and soul - and a dash of spit and vinegar! Shake well (very, very well). Et Voila! You get Laurie Krauz and Sue Matsuki...two sirens that will move and groove your venue right out of their seats! This show can also be built to your specific venues needs from our collective Music Lists of over 500 songs. It is a funny, jazzy evening in tribute to the legendary Sirens of Swing - Ella, Sarah, Carmen, Peggy, Betty just to name a few.

Like Steve, Edd Clark is from a more legit singing background and like Eydie, Sue Matsuki is a little bit jazzier so this show was a no brainer for this singing team. This show books with a trio that feels like a big band but can also come to your venue with just piano. It features many of Steve & Eydie’s biggest hits and swinging duets like: "If He Walked into my Life"; "I Gotta Be Me"; "This Could Be the Start of Something Big" and "Bei Mir Bist du Shon". Do you have any Steve & Eydie favorites? Just ask and we would be happy to include those songs in the show.
