Lynda Carter to resume singing tour

Lynda Carter, television’s Wonder Woman, resumes her singing tour this spring and will again be presenting her cabaret show in select U.S. cities this year, it was announced today. Dates are currently scheduled at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC, as well as venues in Southern California, San Francisco and New York this fall, with additional shows to be announced shortly.

In addition, Lynda is currently recording a new studio CD in Nashville for release later in the year. The album is being produced by the highly regarded producer John Carter Cash.

Last year, Lynda returned to live performing and appeared in a series of cabaret shows, attracting sell out crowds throughout the country with much critical acclaim. Rave reviews of her performances include the following:

“…Expect to hear a well-polished set from a performer who can deliver a song even better than she can take down a bad guy.” LA Times, June 23, 2007

“With a gracious stage presence and a winning smile—and looking absolutely gorgeous—she wowed her opening night packed house…Her welcoming by the audience…was the longest and loudest I have ever heard…” ABC (San Francisco), May 1, 2007

“From a stunning rendition of Billy Holiday’s ‘God Bless The Child’ to two sultry medleys from her Emmy winning CBS specials, Ms. Carter was charming, captivating, comfortable and vocally in control of every note.” BroadwayWorld.com (Chicago), Sept. 12, 2007

“…dynamic and very sexy. Combining a diverse song repertoire with a few Wonder Woman spins, Carter provides a pretty terrific evening.” Am New York, Nov. 1, 2007

Before being crowned Miss World USA or landing the lead role in Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter was known as a leading lady of song. She has headlined here in leading venues from Las Vegas to New York and appeared before enthusiastic audiences around the world. Throughout her television and film career, she has never given up her love of the stage, returning to star in London’s West End production of Chicago in 2006, and appearing in concerts from coast to coast. Carter’s legendary stage presence was featured in a series of five Emmy award-winning television network variety specials on CBS, which she produced and hosted while singing and dancing alongside such guests as Ray Charles, Kenny Rogers, Merle Haggard and Tom Jones.
