NYC: DELPHI HARRINGTON AND WOODY REGAN WITH COWARDLY SWANN

Delphi Harrington and Woody Regan bring Cowardly Swann to THE METROPOLITAN ROOM(34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Wednesday, February 25th at 7:00 pm. Cowardly Swann was first devised as a benefit for THE ACTORS COMPANY THEATRE. It was so successful that they decided to develop it further and pursue commercial venues for it. Woody Regan feels his proudest achievement was writing the score for Sam Shepard's WHEN THE WORLD WAS GREEN, presented to comemorate the the 100 Anniversary of the Moscow Art Theatre. A regular on the Cabaret Circuit, he has performed at Don't Tell Mama since its inception in 1982, and has been "packing them in" in his monthly show 'GROOVIN' ON A SUNDAY' there for a year. Delphi Harrington, a classically trained actress, was introduced to NY audiences by the renowned impressario, Julius Monk, in BAKER'S DOZEN, one of the fabled Plaza Nine Revues at the Plaza Hotel. She has had considerable success doing Coward. Delphi was nominated for a Drama Guild Award for her portrayal of Madame Arcati in Blithe Spirit. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: NANCY HARMS: "ELLINGTON AT NIGHT"

Jazz vocalist Nancy Harms brings her show "Ellington At Night" to THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Wednesday, February 25th at 9:30 pm. In this new show, Nancy lends her luxuriant touch to the interpretation of a number of Ellington anthems and rarities, specially selected by Nancy and arranged for this concert by brilliant pianist-composer (and frequent Harms collaborator) Jeremy Siskind, who accompanies Nancy with his trio. "I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good", "Prelude To A Kiss", "Rocks In My Bed", and "Strange Feeling" are just a few of the songs to be presented by Nancy and company on this very special night. In a relatively short time, Nancy Harms has distinguished herself as one of the most uniquely gifted young jazz vocalists on the East Coast. Born and raised in the tiny Midwestern town of Clara City, Minnesota, Nancy had no exposure to jazz as a child, no connections to the music via family or education. Though she was singing for small public gatherings by the age of four, it wasn't until attending Concordia College in Moorhead, MN that Harms discovered jazz. Nancy immersed herself in Minneapolis-St. Paul's local jazz scene, and by early 2007, people in the community were taking notice. In the most positive sense, no one had ever seen or heard anyone quite like Nancy before: She possessed a stateliness that was unmistakable, yet she was totally unpretentious in manner. She sang ballads with a folk-like, delicate, ethereal quality and a marvelous way of digging deep into the layers of lyrical meaning. Initially, her most noteworthy attribute from a jazz perspective was her sense of time: She clearly possessed a natural gift for phrasing and an innate sense of swing. Of no small importance to her growing popularity as well was the fact that she was uniquely beautiful, in both sound and appearance. Nancy's dedication to jazz is complete. She is abundantly gifted, and her interpretations reveal her to be a fine actor as well, as she possesses a natural ability to movingly express the meaning of any song. A gifted jazz specialist and an intuitively brilliant interpretive artist. There is a $22.50 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: THE ELEPHANT MAN - THE MUSICAL

THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE(61 Christopher Street, NYC - 212-255-5438) presents The Elephant Man - the musical on Wednesday, February 25th at 9:30 pm. The show is a big-hearted musical romp chronicling John Merrick's journey from side-show freak to Broadway star, and the 15th Anniversary Production of the long-running Rose's Turn & Fringe hit! Featuring D.P. Duffy, Kenneth Dingledine, Jenna Morris & Jeff Hylton. With musical direction by Anne Holland. Designed & directed by James Riggs. There is a $10 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
