Following her sold-out engagement last spring, Anna Bergman returns to the stage of 'the nightclub of New York,' Feinstein's at Loews Regency (540 Park Avenue @ 61st Street) for the opening of its 10th Anniversary season. On September 14th, 15th and 21st (8:30PM) Anna will present her new show, My Heart Stood Still: The Love Songs of Richard Rodgers with special guest, Broadway veteran, Brent Barrett.
In My Heart Stood Still: The Love Songs of Richard Rodgers, Anna turns her attention to the glorious melodies of the incomparable theatrical legend, Richard Rodgers. In the romantic songs that Rodgers wrote with such masterful lyricists as
Lorenz Hart, Oscar Hammerstein,
Martin Charnin and
Stephen Sondheim, Anna searches for the heart that beats inside all of us….as we long for, revel in and sometimes lose, at love. It's a match made in musical heaven and one that cabaret lovers will not want to miss.
Directed by Eric
Michael Gillett, the evening will feature special guest, Broadway leading man
Brent Barrett ("Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular", "Chicago: The Musical", "Kiss Me Kate"- Olivier Award nomination), who was also her guest artist in her 2007 public television special "You & the Night & the Music: A Salon with
Anna Bergman".
Paul Greenwood will serve as musical director and arranger.
