Madelaine Warren presents an encore performance of INVITATION on Thursday, March 23, 2023. Taking the show’s title from the jazz classic by film composer Bronislau Kaper, INVITATION is a musically-diverse program that allows veteran chanteuse Madelaine Warren to explore the ambiguities of love, joy and heartbreak, while highlighting the timeless melodies and lyrics of the vintage years of the American standard. Songwriters include Richard Rodgers, Duke Ellington, Sam Lewis, Jimmy Van Heusen, Frank Loesser, Stephen Schwartz, Sheldon Harnick, Michel Legrand, Max Steiner and Stephen Sondheim. “Madelaine Warren’s INVITATION features well-chosen, often cinematically-inspired repertory. Warren brought conviction and emotional connection to this set of romantic songs that took her on an arc from joy to disappointment and back again” Penelope Thomas/Bistro Awards “Sophisticated and sweet, eloquent and personable…This is a class act and it’s in a class all it’s own.” Stephen Mosher/Broadway World. “An evening of eclectic song, elegance and many delights.” Marilyn Lester/NiteLife Exchange “…my recommendation is to take Ms. Warren up on her INVITATION, and see her next performance.” Andrew Poretz/Theater Pizzazz

Gerrilyn Sohn: If Joe Allen's Walls Could Sing & Other Hidden Gems
2023-03-21 19:00 - 20:00, 2023-03-12 16:00 - 17:00 | Don’t Tell Mama, 343 West 46th St, New York, NY, 10036, United States
Gerrilyn Sohn returns to Don’t Tell Mama with “If Joe Allen’s Walls Could Sing & Other Hidden Gems” on Sunday, March 12 at 4pm & Tuesday, March 21st at 7pm.
Directed by Lennie Watts, with Musical Director Steven Ray Watkins and Marco Panascia on Bass.
Joe Allen’s has been a favorite spot for theater folk and fans since 1965. On any given night you can spot some of Broadway’s brightest stars scattered throughout, but on the walls, you will find some of The Great White Way’s biggest flops. Gerrilyn Sohn will be paying tribute to some of these legendary theatrical misses. With music from “Merrily We Roll Along” and “Legs Diamond” (prominently featured on the wall) to other hidden gems from shows that should be on the wall, Gerrilyn proves that you can’t always judge a book by its cover, or a Broadway show by its critical success!
2022 BroadwayWorld Cabaret Award Nominee Best Show

Wendy Scherl in “The Sweetness and the Sorrow: the Music of Marvin Hamlisch”
2023-03-16 19:00 - 20:30 | Chelsea Table + Stage, 152 W 26th St, New York, NY, 10001, United States
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.

“Throughout, her work was marked by a fiercely intelligent approach to lyrics coupled with an impressive clarity… She is a performer who has to perform first-rate material because anything less would be exposed with her honesty.” – Cabaret Scenes
“Corsaro has this raspy, sexy, woman’s voice in her lower register and a more legit sound on top, but it’s a voice filled with what feels like knowledge of the places she puts herself in emotionally.” – Cabaret Hotspot
Maria Corsaro recently completed a successful run of her show, You Taught My Heart To Sing, with the Gregory Toroian Trio and directed by Sue Matsuki, at Pangea. The show, which is jazz inspired, consists of songs where lyrics were added to instrumental compositions – sometimes years later. A second show with this concept is planned for Fall 2023.

Vicki Burns Sings at Mezzrow!
2023-03-05 19:00 - 22:00 | Mezzrow, 163 W 10th St,, New York, NY, NY, 10014, United States
Join me and my wonderful trio of Art Hirahara on piano and Sam Bevan on bass and arrangements for an evening at Mezzrow in Greenwich Village, one of the hippest most intimate places to hear jazz and selections from the Great American Songbook! We will be performing music from my new, critically acclaimed album, Lotus Blossom Days featuring music from Billy Strayhorn and Roger Schore as well as Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer and some original music as well. LBD has received wonderful reviews and airplay on radio stations around the world.
Here’s what the critics are saying:
“Lotus Blossom Days” was released in July 2022 and is still receiving wonderful reviews including this one, just received a couple of weeks ago:

“Lotus Blossom Days holds one’s interest throughout. It is easily recommended as one of the better jazz vocal albums of recent years. Vicki Burns’ performances showcase an adventurous spirit and a flexible voice with a wide range that is attractive in all of its registers.” Scott Yanow, Downbeat, Jazz Times and The New York City Jazz Record

http://www.nycjazzrecord.com/…

And here are some more wonderful reviews:

Pop Culture Classics by Paul Freeman

“Happy days are here again for jazz aficionados, thanks to “Lotus Blossom Days,” the warm and winning new album by Vicki Burns. Her vocals, subtle, sophisticated and appealing, achieve a rare level of intimacy and relatability. Her tone is engaging; her phrasing inventive, yet natural. With the first notes she sings, Burns will have you hooked and when you’ve reached the end of these delicious dozen tunes, you’ll still be craving more.”

http://popcultureclassics.com/deja_202209.html#burns
I have also recently been reviewed in JazzTimes magazine:
JazzTimes by Andrew Gilbert
“A consistently interesting program delivered with rhythmic acuity and abundant imagination… it’s her hat tips to fellow singers—like Tessa Souter’s alluring “You Don’t Have to Believe” and Carol Sloane and Roger Schore’s lyrics for Billy Strayhorn’s exquisite title track—that shine brightest. Burns’ work stands on its own, but she’s keeping some fine company.”
