Cabaret & Nightlife
Cabaret with Sandi Durell – mid January thru mid February 2012
In case you weren’t there:
Mark Nadler did it again with his latest offering “Crazy 1961,” at the Laurie Beechman Theatre, a precise compilation of 61 historical events and 61 songs written in that auspicious year in which he was born. I could go on and on, and Nadler did, as he bombarded with facts, world and theatre related, that made ’61 a very good and wild year. Did you know - - Barbie was introduced to Ken, the Pillsbury Doughboy was born, Ernest Hemingway committed suicide in ’61? The piece de resistance of the evening, however, was Nadler’s 50 Medley Hits from 1961, too numerous to mention, capping off an amazing mind spin evening.
James Barbour performed his 4th Annual Holiday Concert and celebrated his new CD “Bring Me Giants” at Sardi’s. Blessed with a God-given voice of soaring magnitude, his rich baritone is filled with colorations of rainbow proportions. Barbour fans will be seeing lots more of him as his soaring and thrilling voice will be coming to Broadway in March with the musical adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s “Rebecca” as he plays Jack Favel, joined by Karen Mason and Howard McGillin
