NYC: MARIA OTTAVIA & MARCUS SIMEONE: RODGERS, HART AND HAMMERSTEIN
MEMBER DISCOUNT - $5 OFF THE COVER

The show is an affectionate and intimate Cabaret Concert, presenting some of the most beautiful music composed by three legendary composers: Rodgers & Hart and Rodgers & Hammerstein. Few songwriters' in history have risen to the epic heights of Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein ll. Both Rodgers and Hammerstein ll achieved success independently. Rodgers collaborated for more than two decades with Lorenz Hart. Among their Broadway hits were: A Connecticut Yankee (1927), Babes in Arms (1937), The Boys from Syracuse (1938), Pal Joey (1940), and By Jupiter (1942), as well as successful film projects Richard Rodgers (1902–1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960) were an influential, innovative and successful American musical theater writing team They created a string of popular Broadway musicals in the 1940s and 1950s, initiating the "golden age" of musical theater. With Rodgers composing the music and Hammerstein writing the lyrics, five of their Broadway shows, Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I and The Sound of Music, were outstanding successes, as was the television broadcast of Cinderella. Among the many accolades their shows (and film versions) garnered were thirty-four Tony Awards, fifteen Academy Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and two Grammy Awards. Collectively, it is an extraordinary legacy. Maria Ottavia has been a professional singer since she was a teen. Her credits are long and diverse. Her beautiful soprano has been praised by critics'. She is often singled out for her pitch perfect songs and eloquent phrasing. Marcus Simeone has risen to become one of today's most versatile singer/ songwriter/ recording artists on the club scene today. His eclectic shows have won many awards and critical praise since he burst on the cabaret scene. Multi-award winner Tracy Stark will be at the piano along with Marco Brehm on bass. The show is directed by Collette Black. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum. $15 cover for members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.

SALEM, NY: FORT SALEM AND MAZZONE PLAN NEW PERFORMANCE PROJECT
The FORT SALEM THEATER (11 East Broadway, Salem, NY - 518-854-9200) and Mazzone Hospitality announce a new collaboration to bring up-scale musical events to the Clifton Park Hilton Garden Inn. On Friday, February 12th, at 6:00 pm, the Mazzone will host a four-course dinner and present Jerry Gretzinger, Jessica Layton, and Benita Zahn in The Singing Anchors' Valentine's Day Show,  as originally produced at Fort Salem Theater.nThe Singing Anchors were formed for a one-time-only cabaret at Washington County's Fort Salem Theater in November, 2009. WNYT news anchor Benita Zahn had been performing in musicals and cabarets at the Salem venue since new ownership renovated the legendary summer stock house in 2007. Ms. Zahn had appeared at a Albany Red Cross benefit with her co-worker Jessica Layton and CBS6 anchor Jerry Gretzinger, and invited them to join her in Salem for an evening of song. The trio clicked, and, musical directed and accompanied by Fort Salem's artistic director Jay Kerr, The Singing Anchors easily and quickly became the Capital Region's most requested musical attraction. Benita Zahn has been broadcasting in Albany for over thirty years, garnering Emmy nominations as her station's health reporter and easily most recognizable news anchor. She holds a doctorate in Bioethics and, when not singing, acting, or anchoring, produces and hosts HealthLink on WMHT. Miss Layton has reported from Haiti to Hollywood, most recently the logical choice to follow the exploits of Sawyer Fredericks on NBC's The Voice. She and CBS sportscaster Andrew Catalon are the proud parents of an eighteen-month-old son. Gretzinger came to Albany television from stints in Providence and Springfield (MA) to co-anchor with Liz Bishop for four years, until 2014, when he took a post as vice president for Strategic Communications and Public Relations at the SUNY Polytechnic Institute Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering. From time to time, the group performs on the road at venues throughout the Capital Region, including MacHaydn Theatre, Saratoga City Center for First Night, and Vapor at the Racino. They are repeat guests for the Clifton Park-Halfmoon and Guilderland Library performance series, and have headlined at benefits for Our Brother's Keeper, the Lansingburgh Boys' and Girls' Clubs, the Watervliet Public Library, St. Mary's School (Hoosick Falls), and the Schenectady ARC. Fort Salem Theater occupies two buildings, built in 1832 and 1886, on the site of a revolutionary war battle, in the center of the historic section of the southern Washington County town. Since 2007, the theater has produced original performances, including The Anchors, which have gone on to have Life After Salem, in Manhattan cabarets, off-Broadway, and in the Capital Region. Tickets for the dinner and show, with complimentary beer and wine during the hors d'oeuvres course, are available online at http://www.mazzonehospitality.com or by calling 518-690-0293.
