NYC: PEGGY HERMAN CELEBRATES THE CD RELEASE AT FEINSTEIN'S SUNDAY MAY 6

NYC: PEGGY HERMAN CELEBRATES THE CD RELEASE AT FEINSTEIN'S SUNDAY MAY 6

Peggy Herman releases a brand new recording of her critically acclaimed show, "Herman on Herman," her tribute to Broadway legend Jerry Herman, at FEINSTEIN'S at the Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue, NYC - 212-339-4095) on Sunday May 6th at 7:30 pm. The one-night-only concert features many of the songs from the show's premiere at the Metropolitan Room in May of last year, plus additional material that was added to the project in the intervening months. With arrangements by the renowned music director Alex Rybeck, "Herman on Herman (with a Touch of Merman)" gives the Jerry Herman songbook a whole new spin, lending a fresh take on these classic Broadway show tunes. Backing Herman on Herman are Rybeck on piano, Jered Egan on bass and Rex Benincasa on drums and percussion. The same threesome play on the album, augmented by strings, brass, winds, and guitarist Sean Harkness. "Herman on Herman ... Peggy Sings Jerry" (the CD's title) features exciting new arrangements of songs from "Hello Dolly!" "Mame," "La Cage aux Folles," "Mack & Mabel," and other Herman hits. In the studio, Herman and Rybeck added new songs, including "The Best of Times is Now," "Before the Parade Passes By," and "If He Walked Into My Life." There is a $30-$50 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.
