Actress/singer Ana Gasteyer made her Cafe Carlyle debut last night and BroadwayWorld was there. Her engagement runs through November 5th.
Ana performed an eclectic range of covers and reimagined classics from her critically acclaimed jazz album, I'm Hip, including her surprisingly smooth takes on Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats," "One Mint Julep" (made famous by Ray Charles) and "A Proper Cup of Coffee." Her saucy selections told stories with humor, heartbreak, and the swagger of an era when a lady ruled a nightclub and an audience knew they were in for a good time.
Best known for her incomparable work on Saturday Night Live, Gasteyer recently appeared in Fox's hit broadcast of Grease: Live! and can currently be seen starring in Netflix's critically acclaimed comedy series, Lady Dynamite, which was recently renewed for a second season. She will also be starring in the TBS' new comedy series, People of Earth this fall. On stage, Gasteyer appeared in last year's Encores! Off Center production of A New Brain, and has dazzled on Broadway with celebrated performances in Wicked, Rocky Horror, and the Royal Family.
