TODAY IN NYC: KAREN AKERS HOSTS AN EVENING WITH RODGERS & HART THROUGH OCTOBER 23rd
Having eclipsed recent Oak Room records with her acclaimed Cole Porter show last year, Karen Akers turns her attention and her beguiling voice to the songs of supreme melodist Richard Rodgers and bittersweet lyricist Lorenz Hart in her new show, "Dancing on the Ceiling" at THE ALGONQUIN OAK ROOM (59 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-419-9331) on Tuesdays through Saturdays, through October 23rd. Karen will offer her vivid interpretations of the songs of a pair of native New Yorkers who found astonishing success on Broadway, London's West End and Hollywood. Among her selections are "Where or When," "Isn't It Romantic?," "Dancing on the Ceiling," "The Lady is a Tramp," "This Funny World," "Falling in Love with Love," "A Lady Must Live" and "I Could Write a Book." The show is directed by Eric Michael Gillett with Don Rebic as musical director and Dick Sarpola on bass. "Dancing on the Ceiling" will play Tuesdays through Thursdays at 8:30 pm and Friday & Saturday at 8:30 pm and 11:00 pm. There is a $60 cover per person weeknights and late shows and $65 for the early weekend shows, plus either a $30 food and beverage minimum or $60 prix fixe dinner.copyright 2010 - CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE - POST YOUR COMMENTS BELOW
