Leslie Bricusse - Cabaret Scenes

Nicolas King

Nicolas King made a triumphant return to Birdland.

He seduces a song and coaxes from the lyric meanings that may not have been apparent in previous hearings.”

Burgess has a huge tenor voice; has earned his star status with his talent and over two decades of work.

A beautiful vocal tone that could soar to the heights with its dazzling sound.

Shana Bousard and Runbeck have sung together for years, and her Broadway soprano blended with his Broadway baritone like rum and coke.

A continuous delight from its hypnotic opening with the title number to its romantic ending.

The evening was everything such a tribute should be—highly personal with a tight focus, a mix of emotions and humor, and a varied song list.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Abernathy’s beautiful resonant tenor; its warm timbre added luster to each of his offerings.

A master class in cabaret performance.

Keating once more proved himself an expert storyteller in both narration and song.
