Photo Flash: John Kander Catches Karen Akers' Oak Room Show

Tony-nominated theatre star and cabaret chanteuse Karen Akers (Nine, Grand Hotel) is celebrating the music of Kander and Ebb through May 13th at the Algonquin Hotel's posh Oak Room (59 W. 44th Street). Kander himself recently caught the show and thanked Akers for the tribute.

First You Dream: The Songs of Kander & Ebb will feature an array of favorite songs by the legendary writers of Cabaret, Chicago, Kiss of the Spider Woman and many other shows--including "Maybe This Time," "Married," "The Happy Time," "I Don't Remember You," "Yes," "Coffee in a Cardboard Cup," "There When I Need Him," "My Own Space," "Arthur in the Afternoon," "City Lights," "We Can Make It," "Not Enough Magic," "Familiar Things," "Colored Lights" and "First You Dream." The cabaret features musical direction and piano accompaniment by Don Rebic and direction by Richard Niles; Brian Glassman is on bass.
 
The performance schedule is Tuesdays-Thursdays at 9 PM with two shows Fridays and Saturdays at 9 and 11:30 PM. There is a $60 cover charge plus a food/drink minimum. Call (212) 419-9931 for reservations, or visit www.thealgonquin.net for more information.
