After Dark award winners, Beckie Menzie & Tom Michaels, bring an evening of sensational music to the Village Players Performing Arts Center on July 11, 2009.
Hailed by Cabaret Scenes Magazine as one of the "Top Ten Cabaret Acts," Menzie & Michael have appeared on some of the country's most prestigious stages, including New York's Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. Their recording efforts have been praised by Billboard Magazine, BackStage, Show Business Weekly and Playbill and their latest CD, "Better Two-gether," has been hailed by critics as "magic," "sensational," and "...the year's best recording."
In what they call a "musical marriage," Menzie and Michael delight audiences with their rare chemistry, inventive arrangements and genuine love for music and for one another.
Menzie's rich voice and expert piano stylings sizzle on everything from sassy swing to smoky torch songs. A three-time winner of Chicago's After Dark "Outstanding Cabaret Artist" award, Menzie is a diva-in-demand whom Chicago's WGN Radio has praised as "one of the city's finest performers."
With a voice that Billboard Magazine describes as, "...a revelation," Michael's warm, expressive style and charismatic tenor breathe new life into cabaret standards and reveal why BackStage Magazine has called him "one of the most striking singers to emerge in the last few years."
Together, their playful, passionate performances produce what critics have called "sizzling," "pure brilliance," and "cabaret at its best!" See www.tommichael.net or www.beckiemenzie.com .
