Charlotte Patton Brings BWW Award-Nominated Show CELEBRATING MEN Back to Metropolitan Room, 2/20

She's been married and not. She's had serious relationships, flings, and romances with men of all ages (but mostly younger). She's experienced all the charms, foibles, and idiosyncrasies of the opposite sex--and loves them anyway. Actress and comedian Charlotte Patton brings all of that worldly wisdom to her sensual, provocative, and playful show . . . Celebrating Men (Bless Their Hearts) back to the Metropolitan Room (34 West 22nd Street) on February 20 at 7 pm. Patton's show is Directed by Award-winning cabaret performer Karen Oberlin with Music Direction by MAC Award winner Barry Levitt and Jon Burr on bass. Peter Napolitano contributes as Creative Consultant.

In addition to her 2015 BroadwayWorld.com New York Cabaret Award nomination for "Best Show, Female," Charlotte's show earned rave reviews from the New York cabaret press:

"Patton's stage persona is that of a good-time gal-a woman who's always game for a fling. Good naughty fun is on her agenda . . . Her singing voice is a perfectly fine instrument for the mildly jokey, occasionally racy repertoire. She can-and more than once does-turn a note into a throaty growl, suggesting the love call of a pussycat on the prowl . . . On Sondheim's torchy "Losing My Mind" from Follies, Patton provides some welcome emotional complexity, and her understated, engaged performance seems to show the darker aspects of her party-girl character's psyche."--BistroAwards.com

"It takes a woman of considerable wit, style, and maturity to tackle (let alone celebrate) the subject matter of men. Patton possesses all those traits as she leads us on her guided tour of all the various male idiosyncrasies that can drive a woman wild--or mad" --BroadwayWorld.com

"Patton did an act that was as close to perfection as a cabaret artist can achieve . . . Each standard that Patton sang was a superbly acted one act play framed by her perfect phrasing . . . Patton's acting performance was both heartbreakingly sad and funny!" -TheaterPizzazz.com

Charlotte started her cabaret career at the New York club Eighty-Eights after attending the Cabaret Symposium at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center. Charlotte then focused on her acting career, appearing in New York and regional theaters. She has played a surprising number of alcoholics, including Evie, the recovering alcoholic who falls off the wagon in The Gingerbread Lady; the vicious pill-popping, alcoholic mom in Sympathetic Division; a rich drunk doyenne in The Theory of Color; a horny drunk in Isaac Brody's film The Raffle; and the tipsy mom in Averie Storck's award-winning independent film Showers of Happiness. One of her favorite (non-alcoholic) roles was in the two-character Marriage Play by Edward Albee.
