The Mistress Cycle is a song cycle exploring the story of Tess Walker, a single Manhattan photographer in her 30s who keeps attracting married men, and the women from different times throughout history who share her story. These include Ching, a 12th century Chinese concubine, Diane de Poitiers, mistress of Henri II in 16th century France, the notorious erotic memoirist Anais Nin, and Lulu White, a bordello madame in New Orleans circa 1900. With music by Jenny Giering and book and lyrics by Beth Blatt, this musical explores the lives of those who "occupy the place of a wife - practically speaking, anyone who comes second." This concert features Lendsey Kersey, Alexandra Mazzucchelli, Brittane Rowe, Shoshanna Richman, and Emily Stokes and is accompanied by Alex Barylski.
