NYC: JENNA ESPOSITO IN HER NEW SHOW "ITALIAN UNDERCOVER!" TONIGHT!


NYC: JENNA ESPOSITO IN HER NEW SHOW "ITALIAN UNDERCOVER!" TONIGHT!

FEINSTEIN'S at the Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue, NYC - 212-339-4095) presents the return of three-time MAC Award nominee Jenna Esposito in her new show "Italian Undercover!" on Tuesday, August 30th at 8:30 pm. In the show, Jenna revisits the music of some of the most popular and influential Italian-American pop singers of the 20th century who changed their names and performed undercover. While the names Francesco Paulo LoVecchio, Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco and Concetta Franconero might mean nothing to you, perhaps you would recognize them by their "undercover aliases" - Frankie Laine, Lou Christie and Connie Francis! Here's the scoop: Most people are aware that Dean Martin, Tony Bennett and yes, Connie Francis are Italian. And most people are also aware that their given names have been changed considerably. But not everyone knows that the same can be said for countless others including Frankie Laine, Lou Christie, Bobby Rydell, and more ... until now. This program is inspired by Mark Rotella's book Amore - The Story of Italian American Song; Rotella himself will be on hand to introduce the show. The performance features Jenna's five-piece band: musical director Fortune Esposito on guitar, David Crone on piano, Rob Broelmann on bass, Bobby Sher on drums, Brian Broelmann on tenor sax, and Kelly Esposito-Broelmann and Rob Langeder on backup vocals. There is a $25-$40 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.
