Jessica Molaskey: Make Believe

Jessica Molaskey, the Broadway musical actress, jazz singing sensation and recording artist, makes her eagerly-awaited solo nightclub debut with an exclusive engagement at the Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel. The show, based on her recent critically-acclaimed CD “Make Believe,” features John Pizzarelli on guitar, Larry Goldings on piano and Martin Pizzarelli on bass.

Jessica Molaskey spent years in the Broadway theatre before emerging as one of the most respected and acclaimed rising vocalists in jazz. Make Believe is her tribute to her intersecting worlds: 42nd Street meets 52nd Street, as swinging jazz tradition is combined with Broadway glamour and Tin Pan Alley wit. This engagement features musical theatre chestnuts from classic musicals – Oklahoma! (“I Cain’t Say No”), The Music Man (“Goodnight My Someone”), Company (“Getting Married Today”) – and rare gems from the standard American songbook featured on her earlier CDs. The show will also feature a selection of original material written with her husband, John Pizzarelli.
