L.A.: FRANCESCA AMARI'S GILDA RADNER TRIBUTE AT THE GARDENIA

L.A.: FRANCESCA AMARI'S GILDA RADNER TRIBUTE AT THE GARDENIA

On Thursday, May 10th at 9:00 pm, cabaret vocalist Francesca Amari will reprise her tribute show, "YOU MAKE ME LAUGH: A Love Song to Gilda Radner" at THE GARDENIA (7066 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA - 323-467-7444). Amari debuted the show at last year's Gilda's LaughFest in Grand Rapids, MI, a 10-day festival of laughter, which included such notables as Bill Cosby, Betty White, Margaret Cho and more, to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of Gilda's Club West Michigan. She developed the show with the input of nationally-renowned cabaret star Andrea Marcovicci, who served as her creative consultant. The show highlights moments of Gilda's fascinating life, including her rise to stardom, her marriage to Gene Wilder and her struggle with cancer. Much of the material comes from Gilda's autobiography, "It's Always Something". Shelly Markham serves as Music Director. The show features music from the American Popular Songbook, pop music, Broadway and the cabaret world, and includes such gems as "Pure Imagination," Markham's "You Make Me Laugh," "My Pa" and "Honey (Touch Me With My Clothes On." A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Pennies For Penny, a support organization founded to raise money for 3-year-old Penny Buttrick, who is fighting Neuroblastoma (http://www.pennies4penny.org/ ). There is a $15 cover plus a 2-drink minimum (or dinner).
