Night Angel, A One-Woman Musical: Keith Bright Composer, Vol 2, No 5 (Melinda Camber Porter Archive of Creative Works) (V2)

Night Angel is a poignant and witty one-woman musical about a cabaret singer's efforts to resurrect her life and career in the aftermath of a painful divorce. During her comeback attempt in a nightclub in downtown Newark, New Jersey, she tries to pull together her singing career, her emotions, and her life.

Night Angel, with concept, libretto, and backdrop paintings by the late Melinda Camber Porter, features the exhilarating music composed by Keith Bright and presented in seventeen songs.

Night Angel created for one singing actress, backed by piano, guitar, drums, and improvising saxophone. Melinda Camber Porter's sassy libretto features an actress who is a hip and pungent monologist unafraid of exposing her feelings onstage.

Night Angel was originally performed at the Lincoln Center Clark Theater in New York City in 1995 under the direction of Martha Banta and music direction by Tim Weill.

Night Angel published here for the first time by Blake Press with the complete book, libretto, backdrop paintings and sheet music.
