Emily Bergl, who will open the fall season of the Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel, has released a commercial for her cabaret show, produced by Sarah Rebell.
"Kidding on the Square," directed by Sarna Lapine, is a vintage cabaret told from the perspective of a modern girl. Drawing upon her work as an actress, Ms. Bergl creates a variety of colorful characters to bring the elegant melodies of the 1920's and 30's to life. Audiences are transported to a unique cabaret world that blends classic hits from Noel Coward to Fats Waller with modern favorites from Madonna to the Scissor Sisters.
"I created 'Kidding on the Square' because I felt nostalgia for more glamorous times gone by, so of course the Oak Room could not be more fitting" enthuses Ms. Bergl, "I've even added a new song about Dorothy Parker to celebrate the history of the Algonquin Hotel."
