WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano, the popular husband-and-wife team, return to the legendary Oak Room Supper Club in the Algonquin Hotel to debut Helluva Town: A New York Soundtrack which celebrates the love/hate affair Comstock, Fasano and most New Yorkers have with their city.
Rather than sing predictable New York anthems, Comstock and Fasano will perform an idiosyncratic mix of songs from Broadway and Hollywood, the pop singer-songwriters and the jazz songbook. The wide gamut of writers includes Leonard Bernstein, Rodgers & Hart, Comden & Green, Charles Strouse & Lee Adams, Cy Coleman & Carolyn Leigh, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Horace Silver, Jon Hendricks, Harry Warren, Billy Strayhorn, and Bacharach & David. They will be joined at the Algonquin by Sean Smith on bass.

However, as the pair explain and demonstrate in their extremely winning (if slightly overlong) new act, Helluva Town: A New York Soundtrack, at the Algonquin Hotel's Oak Room, their shared love of the Big Apple is part of the glue that keeps them together.
Early on in the deftly written show, Fasano aptly describes this collection of songs as "an arbitrary iPod shuffle." And she couldn't be more right. Most of the traditional New Yo[...]
