The Carlyle Hotel (Erich Steinbock, Managing Director) welcomes two-time Tony Award winner Christine Ebersole to the legendary Café Carlyle for her fourth engagement in the iconic New York venue. Beginning Tuesday, January 11th, 2011 (and playing through Saturday, January 29th), Ms. Ebersole, whom Stephen Holden of The New York Times has called "a goddess formed out of the ectoplasm in screwball heaven...a dizzy, curly headed blonde with a soprano whose wheeling vibrato evokes Jeanette MacDonald with a whiff of helium," will present an all new program -- an eclectic musical evening on the subjects of Hollywood, family...and aging. John Oddo (Musical Director) will lead a quartet. Tony Award-winner Scott Wittman directs.

Ms. Ebersole received the 2010 Nightlife Award for "Outstanding Cabaret Vocalist in a Major Engagement" for her critically-acclaimed 2009 Café Carlyle engagement at the 8th Annual Nightlife Awards ceremony in January.
