Jim Van Slyke returns to Feinstein's in grand style with his critically-acclaimed show, "The Sedaka Show," celebrating the music of pop icon Neil Sedaka. Jim lights up the stage with this intoxicating tribute to pop music legend Neil Sedaka and five decades of top 40 hits.

Conceived and directed by Tony-nominated singer/actor Brian Lane Green, "The Sedaka Show" features Jim's beautiful voice and charm with the intimate melodies of Neil Sedaka, including "Laughter in the Rain," "Hungry Years," "Solitaire," and classic Sedaka hits like "Oh Carol," "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do," "Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen," "Where the Boys Are," and the blockbuster hit, "Love Will Keep Us Together."

With musical arrangements by award-winning musical director Tim DiPasqua, this tour de force trio have created a magnificent evening of Neil Sedaka favorites, lost gems, and a few surprises! One surprise - Terese Genecco joins Jim on April 25. "Best" and "outstanding" are the two words used most often to describe Terese. "On the last Tuesday of each month, she and her Little Big Band put on an unstoppable juggernaut of a set at the Iridium, with one hard-hitting swinger after another, pausing only for what she describes as a mandatory 'two-ballad maximum.'...Ms. Genecco makes every show seem like New Year's Eve." - Will Friedwald, The Wall Street Journal. More information on Terese can be found at www.bugoutmusic.com.

Neil Sedaka will introduce the show and perform with Jim from "The Sedaka Sessions," the new CD from Jim Van Slyke featuring two duets with Neil Sedaka. The CD will be available for prerelease at this performance.

$30 cover or $50 premiere seating, plus $25 food and drink minimum. Dinner begins at 6pm. Feinstein's at Loews Regency is at 540 Park Avenue at 61 Street, New York City. For reservations and more information, call 212.339.4005 or visit www.feinsteinsattheregency.com.
