About the Event
As a part of their First Wednesday Musical series (curated by Nancy Winston), Coffee House Club is thrilled to present It’s a Jungle Out There with cabaret singer, Debra Vogel, and musical director, Darryl Curry. It’s sure to be a lively evening of entertainment, followed by dinner in the downstairs dining room.
About Debra Vogel
Debra Vogel is a NYC-based cabaret singer who is known for creating lively and intimate performances that envelop the audience in her unique warmth and humor. She partnered in her early shows with the late Jeffrey Roy as musical director. After a period of performing in various plays and musicals, Debra returned to cabaret, teaming up with fellow singer and actor Brian Tom O’Connor to form the duo known as “O’Connor & Vogel.” Together, they created three successful shows with musical director Darryl Curry: Guy & Doll; How to be Perfect; and Found & Lost, which they performed in and around New York City.
Debra then returned to creating solo shows which she has performed to sold out houses in and around New York City: Is It Now Yet?; Life, Love and All That Jazz; Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries; I Feel Lucky; and her latest show, It’s a Jungle Out There, all with her longtime, multi-talented musical director Darryl Curry. Debra’s latest show, It’s a Jungle Out There, directed by Elfin Vogel with musical staging by Nora Brown, debuted in Rock Tavern and New Paltz, NY in the Fall of 2022, and Debra is very excited to bring her newest show to the beautiful Skylight Gallery at the Salmagundi Club.
