NYC: RAVEN O SPENDS MORE NIGHTS WITH YOU - Tuesdays through August

NYC: RAVEN O SPENDS MORE NIGHTS WITH YOU

After a thrilling 2-night series this winter, the legendary NYC performer Raven ORaven O returns with his one-man show, One Night With You - an autobiographical look at his life in story and song - to THE BLEEKER STREET THEATER (45 Bleecker Street, NYC - TKTS: ) on Tuesday nights at 8:00 pm starting on May 18th through August 31st. Known worldwide for his starring role in Cirque Du Soleil's Zumanity, Raven O is a master at captivating audiences. On stage, he is the son of the devil one minute, a soul wrenching swan singer the next. His performances are fearless, provocative and often times off-the-wall. At 18, he entered and won a dance contest with a first place prize being a roundtrip ticket to New York City. He later learned the organizers did not have enough money to cover a return trip. They offered Raven O a one-way ticket and he took it - never looking back. He soon became a fixture in the East Village club world. He sung in dark, seedy underground cabarets and burlesque theatre houses. Cirque Du Soleil was a major turning point for the performer. The troupe invited Raven O to host their Zumanity show in Las Vegas. In 2007, after three long years in Las Vegas, Raven O returned to his love - New York City. Raven O is currently preparing to release his first musical CD this summer. For information, ticket price & reservations, go to http://www.telecharge.com/ .

NYC: BARB JUNGR CELEBRATES U.S. RELEASE OF "THE MEN I LOVE" - FINAL NIGHT

NYC: BARB JUNGR CELEBRATES U.S. RELEASE OF "THE MEN I LOVE"

To celebrate the USA release of her new CD "The Men I Love," from NAIM Label (distributed in the U.S. by Allegro) on May 11, Barb Jungr returns to THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) for a one-week engagement, Tuesday through Sunday, May 18th through 23rd at 7:30 pm (7:00 pm on Tuesday & Sunday). Her new show, "River," is her eighth engagement at The Metropolitan Room since she first performed there in 2007. The show is a collection of iconic songs from the late 20th century that rarely are heard in jazz and cabaret rooms and includes a number of standouts from last year's acclaimed show "The Men I Love". Jungr, who is best known for her amazing deconstructions of songs by American rockers, has subtitled the new album "The New American Songbook." Jungr implies with her eye-opening interpretations (that reveal latent emotional content when she dislodges the songs from their original contexts), that many American songwriters from the rock era and beyond are not a breed apart from their predecessors like Gershwin, Kern, Mercer and Berlin. Is it right to have already closed the book (or the door) on the Great American Songbook? Jungr believes it is still being written and that Dylan, Springsteen and Cohen can comfortably sit beside Porter and the rest. There is a $25 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
