Continental chanteuse Yanna Avis returns to the Metropolitan Room with her critically acclaimed cabaret act, "Yanna Avis," on Monday November 21 at 9:30pm and Tuesday November 22 at 7pm. Avis's show, which brought her to the Metropolitan Room for the first time in June, was called "a textbook study of how different French cabaret is from American" by Stephen Holden in The New York Times.
With her collaborators music director David Shenton, stage director Daniel Isengart and artistic advisor Lionel Casseroux, the smoky-voiced Avis performs songs from her extensive, multi-lingual repertoire, but this time she searches for a contemporary edge to compliment the haute couture style for which she is better known.Backing the Parisian-born singer and actress are Shenton on piano, David Finck on bass, and Patrick Farrell on accordion. The four will interpret songs by Cole Porter, by Léo Ferré, Friedrich Hollander, Paul Misraki, and Johnny Mercer to name a few.The music charge is $25. For reservations call 212/206-0440.
