“If music be the food of love, play on..." - Shakespeare

Yowza!

Christopher Denny and I are hoping we can duet our way into your hearts with our brand new show that is just 2 weeks away -- May 8th at Chelsea Table & Stage, 7pm. It is certainly time to reserve your seats! 😉

The Bistro Awards held on April 14 was incredible. The talent, the rapt audience, and even a thrilling surprise guest in Jerry Seinfeld trying out some jokes on us (video below) -- seriously, this was a night to remember.

Thank you to my entire creative family, which begins with my husband, Bob, and children, Tedy & Robby. They placed an ad in the program which is pretty dang funny. Check it out below. And to Christopher Denny, Paul Rolnick, Randy Kleiin & Barry Kleinbort -- what a dream team!

I can forever say I was on the same bill as THE Jerry Seinfeld! 😆

Sherry Eaker, Mark Dundas Woods, Gerry Geddes, and Mary Lahti -- you put on a terrific show and I'm so grateful for the honor. Thanks to some past Bistro winners who joined in the festivities -- some of them my friends :) -- Nicolas King, Julie Halston, The Anderson Brothers, Jim David, Laurie Kraus, & Mary Foster Conklin images courtesy Michael Lee Stever

In between preparing for the Bistro Awards and my new show in May, I've been busy finishing up my first holiday album. Here I am, dressed as an elf in April to make sure Fran Duffy, Tom Kochan, Chris Denny, Paul Rolnick, Eric Allen, Rex Benincasa and Ritt Henn were in the right mood! 🧝‍♀️

At holiday time, be on the lookout for You Sleigh Me streaming everywhere!

David Kenny has the smoothest voice on radio. And great taste in music! This past week he shared 4 renditions of Together, Wherever We Go including the original cast, current cast, moi and --- by far the most delicious -- Annie Ross. His shows are Sunday and Wednesday nights. Check him out here.

FUN FACT: Did you know yesterday was National Shakespeare Day? Set on April 23 because some people decided that was the day he was born (though we don't really know that). But I digress.

What are some of your favorite quotes? I'm going to leave you with one of mine that used to make me giggle in rehearsals of "A Midsummer Night's Dream:" I played Titania:

"What visions have I seen! Methought I was enamour'd of an ass." 🙃

Have a great day!!! XO
