Molly Pope: Polly Mope

Molly Pope is the next big thing of 1963. From the moment she strides onstage, she transports the audience back to the thriving Greenwich Village nightclub scene of yesteryear, where girl singers with big, robust voices and gumption to match took their first bold steps up the ladder to stardom. Her movements are stylized, her diction precise, but what really marks her apart is her viscerally thrilling alto: a rich gusher of sound that emerges like a full-on blast from the past. At Joe's Pub, the neo-retro belter takes a step in a new direction, performing a self-exploratory solo show with original songs she has written with composers including musical director Matt Aument.
