Two-time Tony Award-winner, film star, and Weston, CT resident
James Naughton will bring his new, intimate musical cabaret act
Looking for the Heart of Saturday Night to the Westport Country Playhouse for four performances only: Thursday, November 9th and Friday, November 10th at 8 PM and Saturday, November 11th at 4 PM and 8 PM.
Presented last spring at Feinstein's at The Regency,
Looking for the Heart of Saturday Night includes songs ranging from the standards of Frank Sinatra, Rodgers and Hart, Harold Arlen, Duke Ellington, Jimmy Dorsey, Johnny Mercer and
Cy Coleman, to the contemporary hits of

Chicago, and another for his role as a film-noir era detective in
City of Angels.
He met equal success with his solo concert/cabaret acts
James Naughton Live at the Manhattan Theater Club and
Street of Dreams, which was staged at Westport Country Playhouse for a critically acclaimed two-week run in 1999.
His other Broadway credits include
Democracy,
Four Baboons Adoring the Sun,
I Love My Wife,
The Price, and
