It’s one of her own frothy concoctions. No smarm here—just a wink or seven. Molly Ryan is a keeper: doing a spiffy job zipping amiably through numbers old and new. The creamy-voiced charmer is comfortable and friendly on-stage, clearly enjoying singing, the band, and chit-chat with the audience. She offers sentimental holiday standbys, having made her own list and checking them out as lighthearted happy glides.

Occasionally she’ll insert a glib touch of reality to the candy cane sweetness—with “(There’s No Place Like) Home for the Holidays,” the New Yorker adds two words: “Oh, the traffic is NOT SO terrific.” Mischievous Molly Ryan and reed man Dan Levinson in the band are a couple off stage, too, and she references his tradition being another holiday when “The Christmas Waltz” (Styne/Cahn) comes up on the set list, wondering if there’s a song called “The Chanukah Waltz”? A shrug. “Probably something in minor,” she opines, tongue in cheek.

Another talented Jewish guy, the jazz singer Marcus Goldhaber, takes a Chanukah break to get into the spirit for simpatico duets, including his own “I Can’t Wait for Christmas.”

Don’t wait to see Molly Ryan; she’s a treat in any season.

Rob Lester

2015 is native New Yorker Rob Lester's eighth year as contributing writer, beginning by reviewing a salute to Frank Sinatra, whose recordings have played on his personal soundtrack since the womb. (His Cabaret Scenes Foundation member mom started him with her favorite; like his dad, he became an uber-avid record collector/ fan of the Great American Songbook's great singers and writers.) Soon, he was attending shows, seeking out up-and-comers and already-came-ups, still reading and listening voraciously. He also writes for www.NiteLifeExchange.com and www.TalkinBroadway.com, has been cabaret-centric as awards judge, panel member/co-host, and produces benefit/tribute shows, including one for us.
