Goldie Dver Brings BRIDGES To Don't Tell Mama Opening June 7  Image

MAC AWARD WINNER Goldie Dver will return to Don't Tell Mama with BRIDGES

"GOLDIE DVER is a performer of great passion who has the enviable gift of allowing the audience to come to her rather than the other way around. She is equally at home with theatre songs and jazz standards." -Ricky Pope, BroadwayWorld.com

MAC Award-winning vocalist GOLDIE DVER will premiere her all-new show, BRIDGES, on
JUNE 7th at 7:00 PM at Don't Tell Mama, with additional performances JUNE 12th and 18th. Information and reservations available on the DTM website HERE.

GOLDIE DVER came of age as a young woman in the late '60s and early '70s, when she began her love affair with New York City, arriving here from Philly an ambitious and talented performer. Goldie's experience of the sweeping social change of those times shaped her values and her vision of the world. With BRIDGES, her brand new musical cabaret, Goldie "bridges" that time and these through the music of the '60s, '70s and today.

Collaborating with Musical Director MICHAEL ROBERTS and Director JAMES BEAMAN, Goldie reimagines classics made famous by The Beatles, Dusty Springfield, Carly Simon, and The Carpenters, blending these with jazz standards and show tunes by the likes of Cy Coleman, Lerner and Loewe, Rupert Holmes, and Marvin Hamlisch.

Special guest TANYA MOBERLY brings her stunning vocals to the program, joining Goldie for an innovative duet of Pink's Bridge of Light. Goldie will also perform This is Mine, a powerful anthem written for her by Musical Director Michael Roberts.

Roberts leads a dream band of top NYC players: JOHN MILLER on bass, CHIP M. FABRIZI on drums, and MARC DAINE on guitar and sax. Bridges will play JUNE 7, 12 & 18, all shows at 7 PM; Doors open at 6:15PM $25 COVER/$20 MAC MEMBERS $20 MIN. (must include 2 drinks) Cash Only. Food Menu Available. Don't Tell Mama, 343 W 46th St.
