Avery Sommers
Back By Popular Demand!
“Local favorite Avery Sommers wowed the Royal Room audiences for four weekends last summer. She starred on Broadway in the
long running, critically acclaimed musicals Ain't Misbehavin' with Nell Carter and Showboat, and in two national tours:
Chicago with Joel Grey and Chita Rivera and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas with Ann-Margret. A frequent co-star of Burt
Reynolds (B.L. Stryker, The Man from Left Field), she also starred in Menopause, the Musical and as Bloody Mary in South Pacific.
In addition, she produced and co-starred in the film Hiding Victoria with Anita Gillette.”

Reviews of Avery Sommers:
+ Hap Erstein in The Palm Beach Post: “Big-voiced, large-framed Sommers threatens to overpower the intimate Royal Room,
but for every booming showstopper, she knows how to counterbalance with an understated ballad… She may tend toward the blues
in her song choices, but (her) buoyant, upbeat personality beams through…. Success in cabaret is at least as dependent on
charisma as vocal ability and Sommers excels at both.”
+ Skip Sheffield in Boca Raton News: “Avery Sommers is hard to miss: an imposing and voluptuous African-American
woman with mesmerizing green eyes and a raise-the-rafters voice… (She is) truly loved.”
