The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel just announced the reopening of the beloved Café Carlyle on March 1, 2022. The spring season line-up will feature the return of audience favorites Isaac Mizrahi, Hamilton Leithauser, Mario Cantone, John Pizzarelli and Steve Tyrell.
Isaac Mizrahi returns to Café Carlyle with his all-new show, In-Person, for a two-week residency, March 1 - March 12. His previous residencies in the room were sellouts, receiving widespread critical acclaim. Accompanied by his band of jazz musicians led by Ben Waltzer, Mizrahi will perform a range of tunes by the likes of Milton Nascimento, Billie Eilish and Steven Sondheim. He will dish on everything happening in these crazy times, like social media and sex. The New York Times noted, "he qualifies as a founding father of a genre that fuses performance art, music and stand-up comedy."
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Hamilton Leithauser returns to Café Carlyle for his fourth annual winter residency, March 15 - 26. The native New Yorker just released his most recent full-length record "The Loves of Your Life" in April, 2020. His previous release saw him collaborate with Angel Olsen on "Heartstruck (Wild Hunger)." Pitchfork declared the song "a gorgeously surreal version of early-1960s baroque-pop". Leithauser's 2016 collaboration with Rostam, I Had A Dream That You Were Mine, debuted at #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart, #1 New Artist Album, and was named one of the year's best by Pitchfork, Esquire, NPR, and more. A.V. Club recently raved: "It occurred to me after 2016's I Had A Dream That You Were Mine that the best years of Hamilton Leithauser's career may still be ahead of him." He just wrapped a co-headline tour in 2021 with Kevin Morby and his next full-length release is expected in the first half of 2022.
Acclaimed singer, dancer and actress Dianna Agron returns to the Café Carlyle, March 29 - April 9. Dianna has recently finished production for Mayim Bialik's As Sick As They Made Us opposite Dustin Hoffman, Candice Bergen and Simon Helberg, as well as Alex's Lehmann's Acidman, opposite Thomas Haden Church. Dianna can be seen starring in TIFF's SHIVA BABY and Sundance award winning film NOVITIATE. She previously has lead festival darlings such as ZIPPER, TUMBLEDOWN, BARE, and HOLLOW IN THE LAND. Dianna's stage work includes the West End production of MCQUEEN and two residencies at Carlyle Café, performing classic songs from the 60's and 70s. Dianna first came to prominence in the award winning and much beloved television show Glee.
Celebrated New York stage actor and stand-up comedian Mario Cantone returns to Café Carlyle, April 12 - April 16. From warming up jazz great Shirley Bassey at Carnegie Hall to headlining at Gotham Comedy and Caroline's on Broadway, to his own critically acclaimed one-man-show turned Showtime Special Laugh Whore, his irreverent stand-up comedy routines and musical parodies have graced a wide range of venues. An accomplished stage actor, Cantone has starred in Tony-award winning shows such as Terrence McNally's dramatic comedy, Love! Valor! Compassion!, Shakespeare's The Tempest at The Public Theater, and Assassins by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman. He currently stars as "Anthony Marentino" on HBO Max's new series And Just Like That, reprising his role from both the original Sex and the City show and movie franchise. His other television credits include performances on Comedy Central, appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Dave Chapelle Show, The Today Show, and throughout its extensive run, multiple appearances on ABC's The View.
John Pizzarelli returns to Café Carlyle with an all-new show, Stage & Screen, May 3 - May 7. He will be joined by his trio and will perform songs from both The Great White Way and Film from yesterday and today. The New York Times has described John Pizzarelli and his wife Jessica Molaskey as "the supreme nightclub act of our time." Jazz Weekly recently raved about his Johnny Mercer program: "A gig like this oozes with style, class and fun, with Pizzarelli being one of the best ambassadors for the Great American Songbook. One of his best."
Grammy Award-winner and two-time Emmy nominee Steve Tyrell returns to Café Carlyle for his 16th season from May 17 - May 28, with an all-new show. The performance will feature favorites from the Great American Songbook including songs he has performed in major motion pictures. The New York Times declared, "Mr. Tyrell is a terrific storyteller... his sizable voice filters Louis Armstrong through Ray Charles and Dr. John." Ten of his 11 albums have achieved top-five status on Billboard's Traditional Pop Charts, with his most recent, A Song For You reaching #1.
Iconic entertainer Tony Danza and his four-piece band are returning to Café Carlyle with their hit live show, Standards & Stories, June 14 - 25. Combining timeless music with wit, charm, storytelling, and a dash of soft shoe and ukulele performances, Danza performs a selection of his favorite standards from the Great American Songbook while interweaving stories about his life and personal connection to the music. The hit live show has entertained audiences around the country with The New York Times raving "Tony's a live wire who tap-dances, plays the ukulele, tells stories and radiates irresistible charm... He exudes the kind of charisma that can't be taught!"
