If there is a performer more suited to do a show titled Sirens of the Silver Screen, I don’t know who she is. Melanie Stace is beautiful and glamorous, has great stage presence, moves her arms and body with grace and is a marvelous actress.

The opening number, a brassy “The Singer,” was followed by a beautifully tender “More Than You Know.” Stace performed “Johnny One Note” holding that one note à la Judy Garland and shows off her great chops with “God Bless the Child.” She included a very funny song, “Streisand Got There First,” describing the problems female vocalists have finding a great song that Barbra did not cover first. She managed to sneak in a very credible imitation of Barbra. Stace’s patter was fast and often quite funny. She closed with a blast, belting “Birth of the Blues,” which was followed by a very quiet and beautiful encore of “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye.”
