Photo Coverage: TALES FROM THE JAZZ AGE Plays Cafe Carlyle

The revue stars Emily Bergl (Desperate Housewives, Broadway's recent "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and "Comedy of Errors" currently at The Public) who returns to the Café Carlyle after her hit show last spring; Matthew Saldivar (Broadway's "Peter and the Star Catcher," "The Wedding Singer," "Grease," "A Streetcar Named Desire"), and the alt-cabaret star Molly Pope ("Our Hit Parade" at Joe's Pub, and "The Material World" at Dixon Place), who was a Time Out NY Top Ten Pick in 2012 and a Best of NY Village Voice choice in 2011.

Combining comedic and dramatic excerpts from the Fitzgerald canon with songs that he specifically references throughout his fiction, "Tales from the Jazz Age" is the first collaboration between Friedwald (The Wall Street Journal columnist is the author of eight books and the recipient of ten Grammy nominations) and Lapine (select Broadway assistant director credits include "Sondheim on Sondheim," Lincoln Center Theater's "South Pacific" and "The Light in the Piazza"). Weber, who leads a four-person combo and provides the arrangements, is the host of NPR's Piano Jazz with Jon Weber. Described recently as "brilliant" by Stephen Holden in The NY Times, Weber has collaborated with many prominent singers, including KT Sullivan, Tony-winner Christine Ebersole and the Grammy-winner Kurt Elling.
