The Story of Nat & Kat

Nat Wilson and Kat Sherrell met at a party in 2007 and bonded over their shared background in classical music and a mutual love of the Great American Songbook. They decided to collaborate, and made their debut as a cabaret duo at the Broadway Baby Bistro in January 2008 with their cabaret show about women making bold choices: A Touch of Venus: a Cabaret. They have since performed together at such venues as the Duplex, Galapagos Art Space and the Laurie Beechman Theatre, to name a few. They delighted audiences last October with their poignant and irreverent political show: Vote with Your Venus: An Election-Season Celebration of Great American Women and the Great American Songbook. In addition to entertaining discerning adults, Nat and Kat have created a cabaret show for children, Nat & Kat's Adventures with the Time-Traveling Piano, which they unleashed upon New York City's youth in May and June of 2009. Stay tuned for more exciting projects as Nat & Kat continue to blur the lines between cabaret and musical theater!

Before there was Nat & Kat

Nat has performed with opera and theater companies on both coasts, including One World Symphony, the Little Opera Theater of New York, Opera San Jose, Berkeley Opera, San Diego Comic Opera, and the Lamb's Players Theater. She has inhabited a diverse range of characters from free-spirited seductresses (the title role in Carmen), to love-sick adolescent boys (Sesto in La Clemenza di Tito, Ramiro in La Finta Giardinera), to melancholy middle-aged actresses (Desiree in A Little Night Music), to the Virgin Mary (in Heav'n and Nature Sing).

Kat has accompanied and music directed cabaret acts at Don't Tell Mama, the Laurie Beechman Theatre, the Metropolitan Room, Emerging Artists Theater, the Duplex, and many other venues in New York City. Last year, Kat played, conducted and provided orchestrations for the award-winning bilingual production of Teatro SEA's La Muela del Rey Farfan for Teatro StageFest. She is currently a sought-after accompanist for rehearsals and performances, and works with such projects as the Striking Viking Story Pirates and the hit Broadway musical In the Heights.
