Barbara Cook began a second career, after her career as a Broadway star had faded, when she joined with composer-arranger Wally Harper, to begin life anew as a cabaret performer. KT Sullivan and pianist and music director Jon Weber paid tribute to Cook and Harper in I Can Cook: When Barbara Met Wally. Sullivan mentioned that in her first-ever cabaret appearance, an audience member called out “You sound like Barbara Cook,” and indeed Sullivan’s lovely soprano sound is reminiscent of Cook’s.

She mixed amusing anecdotes about her own life and Cook’s between the musical numbers.

” Sullivan began with a mash-up of Harper’s song “Sing a Song with Me” and “Let Me Sing and I’m Happy.

” Her soprano shone in her performance of “Wait Till You See Him” and “Will He Like Me,” the latter introduced by Cook in She Loves Me. Sullivan amusingly told how she learned the importance of singing vowels from listening to Cook, and shedisplayed how vowels can be emphasized in her performance of “Dancing in the Dark.

She performed another Harper song, “It’s Better with a Band,” beautifully without benefit of a microphone. She movingly interrupted her performance of “You and I” (Leslie Bricusse) to tell of a luncheon she had with Cook after Harper’s death. Sullivan closed by reprising Cook’s unique version of “Sweet Georgia Brown,” starting slowly and then speeding up. Her encore, “If Love Were All,” included an especially pleasing performance of Noël Coward’s lovely verse.
