FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY, the nightclub proclaimed "Best of New York" by New York Magazine and "an invaluable New York institution" by The New York Post - currently celebrating its 10th Anniversary season- recently hosted the first joint engagement of the club's founder Michael Feinstein and critically-acclaimed Broadway star Cheyenne Jackson.

Originally announced from June 2 - 12, the club added six additional shows on June 25, 26 and 27 due to demand. Their new duet show "The Power Of Two" featured pop songs, classic standards and songs from Broadway shows like The Pajama Game, City Of Angels and Finian's Rainbow. The two stars sold out individual appearances at the club earlier this season as well.

After collaborating onstage for the first time, Jackson and Feinstein headed into the recording studio to shape the concert into a new album. The two talents recorded the songs at the Nola Recording Studios on West 57th St. in New York City last week and the album will be available for purchase and download in Fall 2009.
