...it's the joy in your heart...
2024-04-20 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Pangea, 178 2nd Ave., New York, NY, United States
“The performer is an excellent story teller attracted to songs that tell tales and often contain a whole lot of lyrics (“Waters of March,” “Flight,” for example) that he projects with clarity and emotion. He is a lyricists best friend.”
Bart Greenberg; Theatre Pizzazz February 18, 2024
23 Bistro Award recipient & 2023 MAC Award Nominee, Tim Connell returns to Pangea with – …it’s the joy in your heart… . Recently featured in BroadwayWorld.com’s The Days of Cabaret Gratitude as The Bona Fide by Stephen Mosher, Connell along with his longtime musical collaborator James Followell step onto the Pangea stage with the classic Connell aesthetic – an evening featuring an eclectic collection of songs and stories, both personal and timely. Connell & Followell will be guided by Director Mark Chmiel’s deft artistic eye. Songs from artists include Jason Mraz, Steven Sondheim, John Bucchino, Duke Ellington and more.
“Mr. Connell builds a framework for his shows and he knows that which will be hung on the framework, but he doesn’t lock it in because as an actor, as a storyteller, as a man he understands the vital importance of spontaneity and being in the moment.”
Stephen Mosher of www.broadwayworld.com

Margaret Curry in "The Space In-Between"
2024-05-04 19:00 - 20:30 | The Laurie Beechman Theatre/West Bank Cafe, 407 West 42nd St, New York, NY, 10036, United States
MARGARET CURRY returns for encore performances of THE SPACE IN-BETWEEN, originally performed at Laurie Beechman Theatre on November 30, 2023. Through story and song, Curry explores, stimulates, and delights in the universe between the present and the future, the good and the bad, hope and what’s-to-come. Always seeking to dive and dig deep into all things human, ever-curious about why we do what we do, she strives to remind and cajole herself and her audiences to fly higher.

Cabaret Scenes says, THE SPACE IN-BETWEEN is “…a mix of songs and sensational stories told in between them (where, she assured the audience, ‘the good stuff comes from’)…Curry displayed a fine comic flair…the entire evening was conceived with genuine intelligence.”

Through compositions by Johnny Mercer, Yip Harburg, Chaka Khan, Roy Orbison, Jimmy Webb, and more, Curry tells her story (and some of ours) with musical director/arranger GREGORY TOROIAN on piano, SKIP WARD on bass, and DAVID SILLIMAN on drums. THE SPACE IN-BETWEEN is directed by LINA KOUTRAKOS.
