Nicole Talbot

After a sold-out Club Café debut, Nicole Talbot returns with UNAPOLOGETICALLY ME — an afternoon of powerhouse vocals, humor, heart, and unapologetically big dreams. Nicole is a transgender singer and actress and has her sights set on some of musical theatre’s biggest stages. And she’s building that future the only way she knows how: by showing up fully, boldly, and unmistakably as herself. Through Broadway favorites, contemporary musical theatre, and a few unexpected surprises, UNAPOLOGETICALLY celebrates the audacity to dream, the courage to take up space, and the freedom that comes from becoming more of who you truly are.. Nicole celebrates the thrill of wanting something extraordinary — and having the courage to go after it. Because some dreams aren’t meant to be quiet.
