WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In an exclusive four week run of the new show Ah Men! The Boys of Broadway, Betty Buckley will perform men's songs from Broadway shows that she has always wanted to sing, including numbers from Sweeney Todd, West Side Story, Guys and Dolls, On A Clear Day You Can See Forever, Pippin, Mame and La Cage Aux Folles. She will be joined by Christian Jacob on piano, Peter Barshay on bass and Anthony Pinciotti on drums.
Betty Buckley won a Tony Award for her performance as Grizabella, the Glamour Cat, in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats. She received her second Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a musical for her performance as Hesione in Triumph Of Love, and an Olivier Award nomination for her interpretation of Norma Desmond in the London production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard, which she repeated to more rave reviews on Broadway. Her other Broadway credits include 1776, Pippin, Song And Dance, The Mystery Of Edwin Drood and Carrie. Off-Broadway credits include Lincoln Center's Elegies, the original NYSF production of Edwin Drood, The Eros Trilogy and Juno Swans. Regional credits include Gypsy, Threepenny Opera, Camino Real and Buffalo Gal. She starred in the London production of Promises, Promises.
Ms. Buckley has recorded twelve of her own CDs, her latest being Bootleg: Board Mixes from the Road. Her previous album, Quintessence, featuring her ensemble led by jazz great Kenny Werner (Buckley and Werner's ninth album together), was the perfect bookend to Betty Buckley 1967. Both CDs were released by Playbill Records/SonyBMG. She received her first Grammy Award nomination for Stars And The Moon: Betty Buckley Live At The Donmar, and her second Grammy Award nomination for the audio book The Diaries Of Adam and Eve.

RE:Finding My Corner of the Sky
Last night, for the third consecutive year, I visited with Betty Buckley at Feinsteins The year?s show, billed as ?Ah Men:The Boys of Broadway? is a collection of Ms. Buckley favorite show tunes from film and stage sung by male characters. She opens, aptly, with ?Tonight?, and goes on to explain her discovery of Riff Russ Tamblyn at the impressionable age of 14. Having also experienced West Side Story at the age of 14, I can attest to the imprint it leaves. Add to that the discovery of both Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly as Ms Buckley and I both did and well, can real life really ever compare?
It did last night. To read more: http://heresheisboys.com/2011/10/06/finding-my-corner-of-the-sky/

Over the past few years, Betty Buckley has consistently tried to balance the dual challenges of pleasing audiences and gratifying herself in her cabaret acts, with the result being a re-emphasis on theater material. But to say she's succeeded in accomplishing both goals in Ah Men! The Boys of Broadway, which is playing a four-week engagement at Feinstein's at Loews Regency, is practically an understatement.
Putting together a set of theater songs all originally sung by men might, in a lesser artist's hands (and exquisite voice) be little more than a gimmick --or worse yet, a disastrous miscalculation. Instead, the resulting 75-minute show is perhaps her finest outing ever.
