WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Barb Jungr, the iconoclastic British song stylist, makes her Café Carlyle debut.
In The Men I Love, as she has done most notably with the music of Bob Dylan, Jungr re-imagines a flock of contemporary tunes -- many of them rock, folk, blues and R&B classics -- allowing them to take flight in unexpected ways. Rather than egotistically disfiguring them, Jungr fleshes out shadings and meanings that are inherent - if not apparent. "Often very simple songs are loaded with shadows and light," she explains. With a depth of feeling that glows ember-like and a wit and intelligence that flashes like a sword in the sun, Jungr's eye-opening renditions not only surprise, they often fulfill -- miraculously and convincingly -- the true lyric potential of these songs.

Simply put, Barb Jungr is taking the Upper East Side by storm. Her passionate new show at the Café Carlyle, The Men I Love, is a musically and theatrically thrilling evening of re-discovery during which she reveals some of the heretofore overlooked grandeur in the pop/rock music of Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, and others of their contemporary ilk. In the process, she makes a powerful statement about including these composers as part of an ever-expanding Great American Songbook. This is not only a show you should see; it's a show you will love!
The show begins with a stirring -- one might even say strutting -- version of "Walking in Memphis" (Marc Cohn). She[...]
