Karen Oberlin,a fan of Elvis Costello since her early teens, when his young angst, disillusionment and vulnerable heart seemed perfectly in synch with her own, brings her show "His Aim Is True: The Singular Songs Of Elvis Costello' to STAGE 72 (158 West 72nd Street, NYC - 212-362-2590) on Thursdays, June 4th, 18th & 25th at 7:00 pm.
