‘The Voice’ rings out at Bradstan

WHITE LAKE, NY — Karen Mason will be featured at this Sunday’s cabaret night at the Bradstan Country Hotel, with shows at 7:30 and 9:00 p.m. in the Nancy LaMott room.

Currently starring on Broadway as Velma Von Tussle in the smash hit musical “Hairspray,” Mason has performed regularly at the Bradstan since 1995 when she made her first appearance in the Inn Cabaret series. Since then she has become one of the most popular performers to grace the stage in The Nancy LaMott Room. Mason has long been nicknamed “The Voice” in the cabaret industry. Her voice is a force of nature: dynamic, intense, emotional and clear as a bell.

Mason recently appeared on Broadway in one of the leading roles in the original cast of the mega ABBA musical hit “Mama Mia.” Before that she was the standby for Glenn Close, Betty Buckley and Elaine Paige in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical adaptation of “Sunset Boulevard.” Other notable New York stage appearances include “And The World Goes Round”, “Jerome Robbin’s Broadway” and “Carnival,” for which she received a Drama Desk Nomination.

Mason has several solo CD recordings to her credit as well as numerous compilation albums and original cast recordings.
