“M” is for “music” and “magical moments” – and for Marissa Mulder, a performer who combined both elements in her new show, The Many Faces of Eve.

Playing in January at the Beechman Theatre, with musical director Dennis Buck at the piano, Mulder told and sang stories of women in various stages of romance and relationships.

Her voice alone, sweet and appealing, is reason enough to camp out at her feet, but, thanks as well to the quietly dramatic elements of the tales she tells, and the show’s seamless steering among varying moods by director Sondra Lee, Mulder kept our eyes, and hearts, riveted on the stage.

Her dozen-plus songs ranged in mood from moving to Monroe-like They included the plaintive “Dear Friend”  and “Artificial Flowers”  (both by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick); the perky “You Gotta Get a Gimmick” (Jule Styne/Stephen Sondheim); “Maybe This Time” (Kander & Ebb); “Do It Again” (George Gershwin/Buddy DeSylva), performed à la Marilyn Monroe; Joni Mitchell’s “The Last Time I Saw Richard,” and, unaccompanied, portraying a woman exploring her absent boyfriend’s home, Alanis Morissette’s  “Your House.”

Two tender songs completed her set. One, in tribute to her handicapped brother, was Sondheim’s “Not While I’m Around” Her finale: his ever-moving “I Remember Sky.
