Broadway powerhouse, Carol Woods returns to the internationally acclaimed jazz cabaret, Metropolitan Room on Nov. 12th to record her spectacular show AIN'T WE GOT FUN: The Richard Whiting Songbook before a live audience.

Nov. 12th was selected for the recording as it is the eve of Carol's birthday, but also the 125th anniversary of the birth of Richard Whiting, one of the greatest composers of the Great American Songbook.

This magnificent show pays tribute to Carol's mentor and friend Margaret Whiting by giving life to Margaret's father's songs, which have been masterfully arranged by Margaret's musical director of over 23 years, Hubert "Tex" Arnold.

Guests will be treated to stylings reminiscent of Carol's turn as Matron "Mama" Morton in Broadway's CHICAGO and her soulful performance of LET IT BE in ACROSS THE UNIVERSE.

The show is directed by Scott Coulter, with musicians Saadi Zain on bass, and Stephen Singer on drums joining Hubert "Tex" Arnold at the piano.

Carol's electrifying performance, coupled with the spirit of celebration of the evening will make for a sensational LIVE CD and cause for the audience to exclaim, "ain't we got fun" and more!!

Carol Woods plays METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, New York, New York) on November 12 at 7:00 p.m. There is a $30 cover charge and a two beverage minimum. Tickets and information are available at www.metropolitanroom.com or by calling 212.206.0440.
