Michael-Feinstein-Marilyn-Maye-Cabaret-Scenes-Magazine_212         “It’s hard to believe that Michael Feinstein has become an elder statesman of the Great American Songbook. Put him on the same stage as the goddess of that repertory, Marilyn Maye, and a delightfully magical evening is guaranteed. Just their easygoing banter, alone, was a study in cabaret cool.”                  — Cabaret Scenes

“Mr. Feinstein and Ms. Maye may be three decades apart in age, but these two troupers found a perfect show-business fit. Ms. Maye, who bounded onto the stage like a young woman in a hurry, continues to defy the laws of nature. With her rich, robust voice and innately upbeat disposition, she was as in charge of her talent as I’ve ever seen her. And as she and Mr. Feinstein engaged in clever repartee that seemed snatched out of the air, the two embodied a professionalism that is rarely seen nowadays. Mr. Feinstein surpassed himself in beautiful, creamy renditions of “The Way We Were” (in homage to Marvin Hamlisch), “I Won’t Send Roses” and “Somewhere” in which he demonstrated that holding back just a little can yield a deeper connection than taking a song over the top.” — The New York Times
