Canadian television personality and concert star Gregory Charles began his special, one-week engagement at The Café Carlyle on April 3, where BroadwayWorld caught him in action, backed by a band of young musicians from Montreal.
Charles first introduced his unique audience request format when he hosted his own popular Jimmy Fallon-style television talk show on Canadian TV. He has since perfected it in front of audiences big and small around the world (including 5,000-seat arenas).
In addition to starring on the most-watched show on Canadian television (the reality talent show Star Académie), Charles is well-known in Canada for his unique summer music festival in Laval Quebec that draws a half-million spectators every year.
Gregory Charles' special, one-week stint at the Café Carlyle in The Carlyle Hotel, 35 East 76th Street at Madison Avenue, plays nightly, Tuesday to Saturday, April 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Showtimes are at 8:45 pm. Special dinner and show prix-fixe menu available for $125 per person. ($60 music charge; $65 dinner + tax and gratuity). Dinner seating is from 6:30 pm and bar seating is available with a reduced music charge of $40.
