CABARET SATURDAY NIGHT IN NYC: RUTH CARLIN AT LAURIE BEECHMAN: A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW
Singer/songwriter Ruth Carlin returns to THE WEST BANK CAFE/LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE (407 West 42nd Street, NYC - 212-695-6909) on Saturday, May 17th at 7:30 pm and Thursday, June 12th at 7:00 pm. Her show, "A Light in the Window - Songs of Judy Collins." is an illuminating exploration of the eclectic repertoire of iconic folkie turned cabaret favorite, Judy Collins. The show will be directed by Scott Barnes, with accompaniment by Carlin's Musical Director, Paul Greenwood, on Piano, Dick Sarpola on bass and John Redsecker on drums. Ms. Carlin, a participant in the BMI Musical Theater Workshop as a lyricist, is a relative newcomer to cabaret who has been critically lauded for her previous shows at the Laurie Beechman (Moon Song) and appearances the Duplex and Danny's Skylight Room. The show includes music from Collins' magnificent 50-year career spanning the decades of the free-loving and turbulent '60s through her embracing of the Great American Songbook and musical theater to become a contemporary favorite at Cafe Carlyle, the creme de la creme of New York society cabaret. Songs by Joni Mitchell, Stephen Sondheim, Randy Newman, Kurt Weill and others, as well as rarely performed original compositions by Collins herself - including "Secret Gardens" and "Since You've Asked" - will reveal multiple facets of this musical legend. Call for cover/minimum information.
