Photos: Dianne Fraser Brings YOU AND I - THE WORDS AND MUSIC OF LESLIE BRICUSSE To Don't Tell Mama

Acclaimed Cabaret singer Dianne Fraser played Don't Tell Mama this week with her debut album release concert. Arranged and produced by Music Director Todd Schroeder, Fraser's album album pays homage to the late composer/lyricist Leslie Bricusse. The Oscar winner was responsible for the scores to movie musicals like Doctor Dolittle, Scrooge, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and Broadway musicals The Roar of The Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd and Stop The World I Want To Get Off.  Bricusse was known for working with collaborators but he also worked on his own creating certain songs.  

For her album release show, Dianne Fraser had Todd Schroeder on Piano, Steve Doyle on Bass, Denise Fraser on Drums, and a special guest appearance by Tim Connell. the entire proceedings directed by Laura Henry.   Broadway World Cabaret photographer Conor Weiss attended the album release concert with his camera and his photos can be seen below.
