Lauren Marcus

Hailed as "fabulous" by the Boston Globe and a "powerhouse" by the Chicago Tribune, Lauren Marcus is a multihyphenate actor-singer-writer whose work has been seen on stage, screen, and across acclaimed music venues throughout New York City. Usually joined by a party of 12 onstage, Lauren has held multiple residencies at the legendary Rockwood Music Hall. She is currently completing her debut full-length album after the 2016 release of her debut EP, Never Really Done With You, and also currently trying to figure out how the hell to add a string section into the stage plot of her next gig. While she considers her live shows half-party/half-therapy, Lauren's sound is inspired by the effervescent melodies of 1960s pop, the lyrical poetry of 1970s troubadours, and the electric edge of contemporary indie rock...and usually includes a healthy dose of theatricality. Her sound is at once a throwback and completely forward-thinking. Well-known to theater audiences for recent performances in Broadway's Be More Chill and Off-Broadway's White Girl in Danger as well as Sarah Silverman's The Bedwetter, Lauren passionately leans into the celebration of self-expression and self-love while remaining unflinchingly honest about the stuff that gets her (and a lot of the world) down, making "her voice and style...unmistakable, her stage presence and emotions irrepressible, her talent and personality irresistible." -DCMetroArts
