Photo Flash: Hanz and Kirkwood Perform 'Comme Tu Veux'
Vocal powerhouses Ritter Hanz and Kevin Smith Kirkwood returned to NYC for two nights only to perform their new cabaret, 'Comme Tu Veux,' Monday and Tuesday, September 22nd and 23rd at the 42nd Street's acclaimed Laurie Beechman Theatre.
Hanz, who has appeared on stages all over the city and has made quite a name for himself singing in concerts at Joe's Pub, The Metropolitan Room, and The Ritz joined 'Spelling Bee's' Kirkwood for this cabaret extravaganza. The title 'Comme Tu Veux' pays homage to the very origins of cabaret and turn-of-the-century performers like Josephine Baker, Jacques Brel, and Brazilian drag performer Joao Francisco dos Santo (aka Madame Sata), who perfected an art of performance that allowed audiences to escape, dine, drink, and connect in an intimate setting. In that same come-as-you-are tradition, 'Comme Tu Veux' literally invited the audience to a night 'as you want' - a night designed for 'whatever', explain press notes.
