9/1: Appearing at The Gardenia

On September 1st, I'll be appearing in cabaret with Jason Graae, Lesli Margherita, Pamela Myers and Alet Taylor at The Gardenia Lounge in West Hollywood.

The Gardenia is proud to present a new series of shows, Kritzerland at the Gardenia, the first Wednesday of every month, starting in September. Kritzerland is record producer Bruce Kimmel's label, and the first series of shows will be based on the albums Kimmel has produced.

The first show is based on the four-volume set of “Lost in Boston” CDs -- songs from hit shows, which were subsequently cut or replaced -- heard only out of town or in previews. Songs from shows like PROMISES, PROMISES, CHICAGO, APPLAUSE, 110 IN THE SHADE, I DO! I DO! SWEET CHARITY, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, BALLROOM, GYPSY and others. And for this first show, they'll be performed by (in alphabetical order): Jason Graae, Damon Kirsche, Lesli Margherita, Pamela Myers, Alet Taylor. Musical Direction is by the wonderful Shelly Markham.
