Reviewed by Peter Haas for Cabaret Scenes
It was 35 years ago that Jeff Harnar made his New York City cabaret debut—and the applause hasn’t stopped. It burst forth again on a recent June night at The Laurie Beechman Theatre as he, accompanied by Alex Rybeck now as he was then, celebrated his anniversary with a powerhouse show before a packed house.
Looking as youthful as ever, and singing with undiminished charm and strength, Harnar offered highlights from his diverse shows through the years: show tunes, movie songs, and pop classics.

Many of songwriting’s greats were represented, including Lerner and Lane (“Come Back to Me”), Mercer and Carmichael (“How Little We Know”), Porter (“It’s De-Lovely”), Berlin (“Blue Skies”), Comden and Green (a medley with music by Jule Styne and Leonard Bernstein); more Styne, with Cahn (“Time After Time” and ”Put ’em in a Box, Tie ’em with a Ribbon, and Throw ’em in the Deep Blue Sea”), Aznavour (“Le Temps”), and Rodgers and Hammerstein (“No Way to Stop It,” from The Sound of Music)—almost two dozen hits. A bonus: a charming Rybeck original, with Michael Stewart’s words, “What a Funny Boy He Is.

At one point, as Harnar was singing, a listener at a front table just below the stage raised her cell phone and began recording the show. Without losing a beat or his smile, he strolled to a spot just above her table, leaned from the stage, gently lifted the phone from her hands and placed it on the piano—to the audience’s applause.
With backup by Jered Egan on bass and Dan Gross on drums, and with sound and lighting provided by J-P Perreaux, the evening sped by, ending with a standing ovation.
