Betty Buckley: The Music @ Birdland

Miss Betty Lynn, as she is affectionately known to her legion of fans, will be joined on stage by her jazz quartet — Clifford Carter on keyboards, Billy Drewes on sax, Tony Marino on bass, and Anthony Pinciotti on drums.Her rendition of “Memory” from Cats, which won her a Tony Award, is considered a classic among musical theatre mavens. Her performance as Norma Desmond in the London production of Sunset Boulevard, as well as her Mama Rose in Gypsy, have elevated her to a bona fide performing icon.Film work includes Carrie, Tender Mercies (one of her personal faves), Frantic, Woody Allen’s Another Woman, and Wyatt Earp. She is a familiar face to TV viewers as a result of her recurring role on Eight is Enough.Buckley, who has recorded — thus far — 11 solo albums, enjoys touring the U.S., reaching out to audiences all over the country. She has virtually redefined the concept of “multi-talented,” having conquered every performing medium, while teaching other industry professionals how to achieve performance nirvana.Since we expect the engagement to sell out quickly, early reservations are highly recommended.
