Award-Winning Singer, Actress & Entertainer Brings Her Electrifying Live Show to New York City’s Iconic Cabaret Venue
NEW YORK, NY — Irene Michaels, the award-winning singer, songwriter, and multi-hyphenate entertainer who has captivated audiences from Chicago to New York City, is set to perform live at the legendary Don’t Tell Mama in New York City on Wednesday, April 23.
Known for her magnetic stage presence, powerhouse vocals, and fearless artistry, Michaels brings a one-of-a-kind live experience that blends House music, EDM, cabaret, and pure, undeniable charisma. This is a performance not to be missed.
An award-winning recording artist, Michaels has released music under Trax Records and earned a Josie Award for Pop Single of the Year for her original song “I Like Rain.”  Her latest releases continue to turn heads across genres and generations.

Michaels’ artistic journey began at age 11 as a dancer, eventually leading her to an off-Broadway production of A Chorus Line and to the top of Chicago’s modeling scene.  From there, she built a career that spans acting — with notable roles in General Hospital, Home Alone 2, and Mahogany — to becoming a celebrated live performer and recording artist in House Music and EDM. 
Her live performances have been described as “eloquent, magnetic, visually striking, daring, passionate, and alluring” — a stage presence that doesn’t just entertain, but sparks. 
At 80, Irene Michaels is not winding down — she’s turning up the volume.  She is proof that passion, talent, and fearless creativity have no expiration date.
