Bernie Furshpan, operating partner of the Metropolitan Room served up Champagne at a reception to celebrate Julie Budd's Residency at the Cabaret. Lots of show biz friends turned out to congratulate Julie on her "new home". Julie's first show is on May 14th and Richard Skipper her publicist announced the the opening performance is almost sold out.
Toasting Julie at the party were Jim Brochu, Steve Schachlin, Ron Forman, Edmund Gaynes, Sindy K. Schneider, Jeff Harner, Bruce Himelfarb, Magda Katz, Joan Copeland, Arlene & Alan Lazar, Marilyn Lester, Brian Lipton, Gary Lizardo, Andrew Martin, Mark Nadler, Bob Rizzo, Steven Sorrentio, Charles Truenski, Karen Wyman, Collen Zenc, Ellen Marks Stephen & Eda Sorokoff and many more.
The afternoon was topped off with a beautiful rendition of Moon River sung acoustically with Sean Harkness on guitar. Moon River was the first song that 12 year old Julie sang on the Merv Griffin show which launched her career. Julie's new show is in celebration of her latest CD, "They Wrote The Songs", which are the songs of our generation from some of the greatest songwriters of our time.
The only Bread and Salt (the traditional gifts for a new home) were on the delicious hors d'oeuvre's served by Joanne & Bernie Furshpan.
