Jan’s cabaret show “Old Fashioned, Please!” was named one of Boston’s Top Ten (Bay Windows 2000 Cabaret Year In Review).

Most recent performances include, Six Degrees of Sondheim, where Jan’s performance was hailed as “worth the price of admission”, and Jan Peters Sings Johnny Mercer performed to a SRO crowd. By invitation, Jan has performed at the famed Mabel Mercer Cabaret Convention multiple times, including Mabel Mercer’s 21st Anniversary Celebration at Lincoln Center in New York. Other performances include, “I Feel A Song Coming On” at The Cultural Center Theater in Port Charlotte, Florida, The Jazz On A Sunday Afternoon Performance Series in New Hampshire and Boston’s Riverside Theater Works Cabaret Festival.

In addition to her cabaret work, Jan performs throughout the country accompanied by ensembles ranging from intimate jazz groups to large swing orchestras and appears at many of Boston’s best nightclubs and hotels.

Her debut CD, “Somebody Come and Play” (2002), received rave reviews; “An excellent debut.” (Boston Herald); “…the classic torch singer…a voice like fine wine…it is glorious.” (John Amodeo, Cabaret Scenes, Bay Windows contributor). Her second CD, “You Started Something” was also released to glowing reviews, “Jan Peters has scored another great success performing material she was born to do.” Jordan Rich, WBZ Radio, Boston.

Jan created The Cabaret Spotlight Guest Artist Series to celebrate the piano bar experience where Jan happily got her start, giving budding cabaret performers the chance to strut their stuff! www.janpeters.com

Over the last dozen or so years, Marilyn has been a member of Gordon Michaels Production troupe, appearing in yearly holiday shows, as well as a number of ensemble shows. She has also appeared in her own solo and duet cabaret shows in Boston and the Jersey Shore.
