Ms. Perry continued to enjoy her cabaret streak by belting out some mean pop-rock showstoppers in an all-female cabaret "All About That Face" at The Triad. The show received wonderful reviews naming the performers "A contemporary group of young women with well-trained voices and a comic flair" and that "with its impeccable timing, harmonies, and counterpoints, it's entertainment of the highest level..." Prior to hitting the cabaret trail, Maria had the honor of working with Tony Award nominee, John Tartaglia and Broadway veteran, Shannon Lewis, as the Teacher Susie understudy and swing in the original company of Jim Henson's, Sid the Science Kid Live! tour.
