WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Two-time Tony Award winner Christine Ebersole returns to the legendary Café Carlyle for the first time since her critically acclaimed 2002 debut in an exclusive two-week engagement.
The program is comprised entirely of songs from the first half of the 20th Century. Well-known standards, such as a jazzy "Fascinating Rhythm," a truly heartfelt "Bill," a bluesy "42nd Street," and "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," alternate with more obscure tunes from the Great American Songbook, such as "I've Got Five Dollars," "Miss Johnson Phoned Again Today," "Cooking Breakfast for the One I Love," and "Why Don't We Try Staying Home?"
John Oddo (Musical Director) leads a quintet, and Tony Award-winner Scott Wittman directs.
