Trés Broadway by Trés Hanley Millman

This style might be initially off-putting to those accustomed to standard Broadway versions of songs, but I found myself growing more and more fond of Hanley-Millman's approach with each listen. These two theatre classics are joined by several other tracks that frequent albums like this, "Children Will Listen", "In His Eyes", "Summertime", and "For Good." All are solid and have an operatic quality that distinguishes them from many other solo versions. My favorite tracks on the album are lesser-known songs like "Is It Really Me" from 110 in the Shade and "Mama a Rainbow" from Minnie's Boys. Both are real gems that Trés is likely bringing to many listeners for the first time. Her performances do what any great solo album should do for a theatre song - make the listener want to hear the whole show.

Though she is known first and foremost as a “sit-com” actress in the U.K., Trés’ work is truly international and spans the entire entertainment field.

As a teenage protégé of Leonard Bernstein, Trés attended the Julliard School of Music when she was chosen by him to sing as the principal female soloist in one of the last Great Composers Series at Lincoln Center which he conducted her singing his tour de force 'GLITTER & BE GAY' from Candide and more. She went on to perform in numerous musicals in the U.S. and abroad, including My Fair Lady (Eliza), Camelot (Guinevere), and The Fantasticks (Luisa). In the London revival of The Beggar’s Opera, she made history as the first “American” to play 'Polly Peachum' in Britain since the musical was first performed in 1728.

Trés went on to call London ‘home’ and establish herself as a well respected TV actress, working with some of the best of British talent. Her U.K. credits include the role of 'young Jean' in As Time Goes By, starring Oscar winner Dame Judy Dench (who plays Jean), Casualty, Hale & Pace, and Murder Most Horrid. Most recently she created the role of 'Carol' in the BBC television comedy My Hero.

‘Guest starring’ TV roles in the USA include Tales from the Crypt (HBO) and Sherlock Holmes (A&E). Film credits include the role of Robert Downey Jr.’s mistress in Richard III, starring Sir Ian McKellen, and Mouth To Mouth (aka in Europe - Boca a Boca) opposite 2001 Oscar “Best Actor” nominee, Javier Bardem.

Trés face is familiar to many around the world, as she has done many worldwide TV commercials. Ranging from the Rubbermaid Girl in the USA to the Bacardi and Kellogg's girl in Europe and for NCR internationally, to name a few. Also an international voice over artist, she can be heard on radio and TV commercials everywhere.

Trés continues to work in Europe as a solo concert artist and television actress, while balancing her new life since recently married to a NYC architect, writer & producer. Trés and her husband Paul Millman make their home in both New York and London.
