NYC: T. OLIVER REID'S "DROP ME OFF IN HARLEM" RETURNS TO THE MET

T. Oliver Reid's much-lauded one-man revue, "Drop Me Off in Harlem," returns to THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) for an extended run beginning Sunday, February 1st at 7:00 pm. Additional shows are scheduled for Sundays, February 8th at 9:30 pm and February 22nd at 7:00 pm and monthly through May 31st. Filled with musical and cultural insights into the sultry demi-monde of Harlem jazz clubs and speakeasies in the 1930's, "Drop Me Off in Harlem" played four weeks in October/November 2104. Now, just in time for Black History Month, Reid reprises the Bistro Award-winning show in a staging that continues to draw on his multi-faceted skills as an actor-dancer-singer. The show's band consists of music director Lawrence Yurman on piano, Damien Bassman on percussion, Ray Kilday on bass, and Trevor Neumann on trumpet. Reid, a veteran of several Broadway musicals, has emerged as one of New York's most captivating male vocalists. Reid received the 2012 MAC Award for cabaret debut, and the 2013 Bistro Award for Theme Show ("Drop Me Off in Harlem's premiere) while making a string of high-profile appearances at Feinstein's, 54 Below and Dizzy's. His most recent Broadway credit is "After Midnight." He also appeared in the recent NBC television special "Peter Pan Live!" starring Allison Williams. In "Drop Me Off in Harlem," he leads the audience on a guided tour of Harlem's nightspots - from the famous and notorious to the obscure after-hours joints favored by the musicians and their confederates. As he delivers songs by Duke Ellington, Harold Arlen, and Andy Razaf (among others), a masterful picture of the time and place is conjured. There is a $25 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: SONDHEIM UNPLUGGED: THE MOVIE EDITION

Sondheim goes to the movies on Sunday, February 22nd at 5:00 pm at 54 BELOW(254 West 54th Street, NYC - 646-476-3551). In honor of Oscar night, 54's popular Sondheim Unplugged series turns it's attention to tunes from projects ranging from Dick Tracy & Reds to adaptions of Broadway hits like Sweeney Todd & Into the Woods. Although widely considered (with good reason) the master of the American musical, Oscar-winner Stephen Sondheim's work for the cinema should not go unrecognized. From his original contributions to film (including the unproduced movie musical, Singing Out Loud & one very naughty addition to The Seven-Per-Cent Solution), to silver screen adaptations of his own stage triumphs, Sondheim's motion picture stamp is prolific. Join some of Broadway & cabaret's best vocalists when Sondheim Unplugged goes behind the camera for an up close visit with some sterling big screen treasures. Special Guests: Marni Nixon (Singing voice of Maria, West Side Story film, 2001 Follies revival) and Sarah Rice (Sweeney Todd's original Johanna). Starring: Alexis Cole, Eric Comstock, Michelle Dowdy, Lothair Eaton, Barbara Fasano, Marquee Five, Terese Genecco, Eric Michael Gillett, Lina Koutrakos, Rob Maitner, Julie Reyburn, Nicholas Rodriguez, Brian Charles Rooney, Steve Ross, Lisa Sabin, Lucia Spina, Courter Simmons and Jonathan Whitton. There is a $30-$65 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.
