The Café Carlyle has announced the performance lineup for the beginning of 2008.

Legendary pop/folk singer Judy Collins will return January 22-March 1. She will perform her most loved songs including “Send in the Clowns,” “Amazing Grace” and “Chelsea Morning,” and will also offer selections from her most recent recording, Judy Collins Sings Lennon and McCartney. She will be followed by Tony Award winner Barbara Cook, who will make her 27th appearance at the club, March 4-April 12.

Next up, five-time Grammy Award-winner Christopher Cross will make his Carlyle debut, April 15-May 10. Best known for his 1980 Oscar- and Grammy-winning song “Arthur’s Theme” (Best That You Can Do), Cross will offer such other memorable hits as “Sailing,” “Ride Like the Wind,” and “Never Be The Same.”

The club is currently presenting Elaine Stritch: At Liberty… at the Carlyle, a special reprise of her 2002 Broadway show, through January 19. (For TheaterMania’s review, click here.)
