WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Feinstein's at Loews Regency continues its star-studded Winter 2011 season with I Want To Live! - an evening with Nellie McKay, a woman with dubious moral standards, often a guest in seedy bars. This return engagement of the critically acclaimed singer, songwriter and actor, features songs from her latest CD Home Sweet Mobile Home. According to The New Yorker, the new disc "covers a wide range of pop styles, from rock and soul to Latin and reggae, and is a delight. In concert, McKay is funny and touching, ceaselessly clever and scarily talented." While her 8:00 PM/8:30 PM early shows will offer her eclectic mix of standards and original material, the 10:30 PM "Late Train" shows on Fridays and Saturdays will exclusively feature McKay's own distinctive compositions. McKay, who performs on piano and ukulele as well as vocals, will be joined by a trio of musicians.

Nellie McKay spans the musical gamut in her new show, I Want To Live!, now at Feinstein's at Loews Regency. She bursts onto the stage with a small phrase from Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" before launching into 16 other tunes, from such diverse songwriters as Irving Berlin, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, in just 45 minutes. The breadth of music can be both jarring and exhilarating, but there's no denying McKay's an absolute delight to hear, especially when accompanying herself on the piano.
The show is very loosely tied together with fragmented scenes from the Susan Hayward film of the same title, following a woman as she traipses through seedy bars, ru[...]
