Suzan
Solomon offers first-rate comic relief as a daffy medium and
shines as a cynical atheist-socialist, making the most of two of
the show's best numbers. - reviewed by Les Spindle,

Solomon was born in Pittsburgh, PA. She "escaped"
Pittsburgh and moved to New York where she landed her first
Actors Equity show, "Let My People Come" - and they did
to the Village Gate. She was the "swing" for all of
the roles. If you know anything about the show, you
can image her parents' response!
Suzan went on to become Bubbly brown White Girl in "Bubbling
Brown Sugar," where she played the young Sophie Tucker role
on Broadway and with the National Touring Company.
After touring with the Disco Diva, Celi Bee - from Puerto
Rick on T.K. Records, of "Superman" fame as one of the Buzzy

demos for composers including her own original songs and as
a back-up singer for Al Wilson of Show and Tell fame and

My Children, Pushing Daisies, Raising the Bar, Telepathetic
(a pilot for Nickelodeon) with director Gary Halvorson) and
a short appearance on Live With Fran.
