Photos: Phillip Officer Returns To Birdland Theater With SECOND TIME AROUND

The return to the cabaret stage of Phillip Officer has been one of the most talked of and welcome happenings of the last year.  The cabaret star of the Nineties came out of retirement, playing Las Vegas and New York (and, specifically, Birdland) and the people just keep coming out to see him work.  To see an artist of such renown experience so strong, so resonant a return to their craft and the industry has been a joy to behold.  After a sold-out appearance at Birdland Theater in September, the Las Vegas resident returned to the fair city and the legendary club for an encore this week, and, once more, Birdland Theater was filled with an audience happy to see the once-more cabaret star ply his craft.

Broadway World Cabaret photographer Conor Weiss was in the room to capture the event in his camera.  Enjoy Conor's photo essay below, find more shows to see on the Birdland website HERE and visit the Phillip Officer website HERE.

The SECOND TIME AROUND band was Jeffrey Klitz on piano, Kevin Kuhn on guitar, and Ben Sutin on violin.
