NYC: VICKIE PHILLIPS - TO LIFE AND RAINBOWS - A LOVING MEMORIAL TRIBUTE TO SON KIRK
2014 Bistro Award Winning Vickie Phillips Returns to DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788) on Thursday, March 19th at 7:30 pm with her show "To Life And Rainbows - A Loving Memorial Tribute to Son Kirk". According to Vickie Phillips, music is what feelings feel like. No greater feelings can be expressed than keeping the promise Vickie made to her son 13 years ago, two days before his soul took flight. Pancreatic Cancer that metastasized to his liver, cutting his life short a year and 3 months later. "I promise I will not stop performing when you are no longer in this world, Kirk". So now, to honor Kirk's memory, Vickie has joined forces with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Research Center for this March 19th Benefit. In this special show, most songs have been written by "friends" - actual friends like Sheldon Harnick and Gerry Dieffenbach, her musical director; others who have become like friends because of their music like Lieber and Stoller, Peter Allen, Craig Carnelia, Cryer and Ford, Maltby and Shire, Eric Blau, and Aznavour ... as she makes each song she sings her personal friend. There is no cover charge - just place a cash donation (or check made out to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Research Center) in an envelope which will be collected at the show. There is a 2-drink minimum.
