The bulk of the set included Eder’s tried and true fan favorites from Broadway shows and her stage concerts.

“Looking Through the Eyes of Love” (Marvin Hamlisch/Carole Bayer Sager), with which she won the 1988 Star Search competition, has her hitting an F above high C, a vocal skill she has mined for gold over the years. Backed capably by longtime compatriots Billy Stein on keys, bass player David Finck and guitarist Peter Calo, Eder breezed through her souped-up version of the usual Parisian waltz “Charade” (Henry Mancini/Johnny Mercer), “Man of La Mancha” (Joe Darion/Mitch Leigh) and the cute ditty “Sam, You Made the Pants Too Long” (Smiley Lewis/Victor Young/F. Whitehouse/Milton Berle).

Eder included a few selections from her latest CD, Retro, including the beautiful “Easy” from the musical Waiting for the Moon: An American Love Story and “The One That Got Away,” both written by Frank Wildhorn and Jack Murphy. Of course, the show wouldn’t be quite complete without her showstopping rendition of Jekyll and Hyde’s soaring “Someone Like You” (Wildhorn/Leslie Bricusse).

Steve Murray

Always interested in the arts, Steve was encouraged to begin producing and, in 1998, staged four, one-man vehicles starring San Francisco's most gifted performers. In 1999, he began the Viva Variety series, a live stage show with a threefold mission to highlight, support, and encourage gay and gay-friendly art in all the performance forms, to entertain and document the shows, and to contribute to the community by donating proceeds to local non-profits. The shows utilized the old variety show style popularized by his childhood idol Ed Sullivan. He’s produced over 150 successful shows, including parodies of Bette Davis’s gothic melodramedy Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte and Joan Crawford’s very awful Trog. He joined Cabaret Scenes 2007 and enjoys the writing and relationships he’s built with very talented performers.
