Wendy Scherl in “The Sweetness and the Sorrow: the Music of Marvin Hamlisch”

Wendy Scherl, a New York and Arizona based singer, brings her critically acclaimed show, “The Sweetness and the Sorrow: Songs of Marvin Hamlisch” to the Chelsea Table + Stage for the first time. Cabaret Scenes Magazine said “This performance showed what cabaret artistry is about.” Conceived with her two main collaborators, director Barry Kleinbort and musical director, Christopher Denny, Ms. Scherl takes a vocal joyride through the catalogue of Oscar, Tony, Emmy, Grammy and Pulitzer Prize winning composer Marvin Hamlisch, offering new takes on standards and rarities culled from his numerous Broadway shows, film scores and early pop songs.

Wendy’s far-reaching program includes classics like “The Way We Were” and “What I Did For Love” along-side little known gems like “Sweet Alibis” and “Two Boys” (which Hamlisch wrote with the late Peter Allen.) As Roy Sander of Bistro Awards wrote, “With her fluent musical vocabulary and sharp interpretive skill, Wendy Scherl illuminates and invigorates every song she sings.” This is an evening not to be missed.
