CHRISTINE ANDREAS, FEBRUARY 26 & 27 AND MARCH 4 & 5 AT 7PM:

Broadway mainstay Christine Andreas showcases her impeccable vocal abilities in her new show Cafe Society. In an evening evoking the glamour and 'swelligance' of an era gone by, appropriate to the gorgeous surroundings of Feinstein's/54 Below, she brings to mind the swinging energy of Ella Fitzgerald and the cool melancholy of June Christy, as well as the show stopping style of Barbra Streisand. Andreas's talent is as intimate as it is epic, the type of voice - clarion, soaringly emotive, goddess-like - that reminds one why these songs were written in the first place.
