Celia Slattery’s background in theater shines through on her latest offering, Cast of Characters.” The album features cover songs (including a beautiful rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”) and originals, many penned by Slattery herself. Bursting with a timeless pop sound, the songs communicate the emotions behind them.

Celia Slattery has had a storied career of mixing music and monologue into exuberantly theatrical form. She’s taken many creative avenues on more than one continent, and focused her musical prowess and ability to entertain into her latest CD – aptly named – Cast of Characters.

Celia Slattery, on stage at Jimmy Tingle’s Off-Broadway in Somerville, begins “Moving Target,” her music-and-monologue show about growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, by referencing earlier, “simpler” times. Initially, this seems to be a false note – even before the Vietnam War, the touchstone for her generation, things were pretty gnarly.
