Susanne Mack Returns To Pangea May 20 For Final Performance of FRAGMENTS

German-born New York-based vocalist Susanne Mack is returning to Pangea (178 Second Avenue) for her final performance of her all-new show "Fragments," a celebration of human resilience and our deep connectedness to one another in times of separation, disruption, and confusion. The show will be presented on May 20, 2022, at 7 pm. There is a $25 cover charge and a 2-drink minimum. Tickets may be obtained HERE.

Conceived during the pandemic, together with her collaborators Paul Greenwood and Barb Jungr, the show explores how we all keep going in times of disruption and uncertainty and what really matters. Through an insightful, heartfelt, and often comical lens, we learn a lesson or two about resilience. The program has been running since October of 2021, with a brief hiatus necessitated by the Omicron variant.

Paul Greenwood has done all the arrangements of the beautiful collection of songs by David Shire/Richard Maltby, Jr., David Bowie, John Prine, Carole King, Paul Simon, Phil Collins, Charles Trenet, Burt Bacharach, Stephen Sondheim, Elton John, and the Beatles. British cabaret star Barb Jungr directs the show remotely from her home in England.
