Harold Sanditen will be reprising his most recent cabaret show, THOUGHTS 'ROUND MIDNIGHT, at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788) on Friday, February 11th at 7:00 pm, after performances at DAVENPORT'S in Chicago on February 7th. He is joined by London favorite Nathan Martin on piano and Bob Renino on bass. The show is directed by Lisa Forrell. In this show he explores those innermost thoughts we can fall into late at night - loneliness, gratitude, regrets, jealousy, love, fantasies and even revenge - and it's fun, despite the somber sounding title. Harold's soulful and witty interpretation of lyrics portrays the humour, sadness and tenderness of these emotions, through the words and music of classic songs by Lennon and McCartney, Billie Holiday, Thelonious Monk, Jerome Kern, Bob Dylan, Jay Leonhart, Dorothy Fields, Stephen Sondheim and Antonio Carlos Jobim to name a few. For 20 years, Harold was a successful UK based theatre producer with productions that spanned the smallest scale fringe productions to large scale commercial ones. He produced mainly in London, but also throughout the UK, as well as in Baltimore and New York City. Working with Oscar winners to complete unknowns, he was responsible for the UK debut of many North American performers and writers. However, three years ago he decided to leave producing and concentrate on his real love - singing and cabaret. Harold's vocal style covers a wide genre from jazz and Latin to pop, ballads and show tunes. Call for cover/minimum information. There is a $5 discount off the cover for members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.

NYC: ELIZABETH TRYON: DIARY OF A POP SONGWRITING CLASSICAL SINGER TONIGHT


NYC: ELIZABETH TRYON: DIARY OF A POP SONGWRITING CLASSICAL SINGER

Elizabeth Tryon brings her show "Diary of a Pop Songwriting Classical Singer" to the THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) for two more nights in February: Sunday & Monday, February 6th & 7th, both shows at 9:30 pm. Musical director Michael Ferreri will be at the piano, with Sean Harkness on guitar. Elizabeth Tryon is often described as two singers in one, possessing the low belt of a first-class pop singer and the soaring high notes of a true classical great. In "Diary of a Pop Songwriting Classical Singer" Elizabeth takes you on a humorous, moving, and beautiful musical journey as she segues between her original songs - her song "Fire Inside" broke the Top 10 on the FMQB AC National Radio Chart - and Broadway favorites, portrayed with wit and grace, plus behind-the-scenes music industry anecdotes. Elizabeth also draws upon her background performing improvisational comedy at the New York Comedy Club to create an unforgettable show. The show is a multi-media event, featuring 2 music videos - including a moving tribute video to the US Armed Forces that features one of Elizabeth's songs as the soundtrack. The show also features the music of Andrew Lloyd Weber, Joni Mitchell, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Celtic Woman, and others. Elizabeth recently released her debut album "From Elizabeth", produced by Grammy-winner Scott Jacoby and Anthony Resta (Elton John, Collective Soul). There is a $10 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
