It was almost over for Over the Rainbow. And Patsy Cline nearly went Crazy before finally agreeing to record her iconic hit. It may be hard to believe, but many of our favorite songs barely avoided oblivion before hitting their musical home runs. Celebrated Chicago cabaret artist, Hilary Ann Feldman debuts her new show, Songs That Almost Got Away, at Davenports Cabaret Room (1383 N. Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL) Saturday, September 22 at 8:00pm and Sunday, September 23 at 7:00pm.
Many of our musical treasures - from movies, musical theatre, the pop and jazz worlds - would have remained undiscovered if it weren't for the stars aligning just right. Join Hilary, along with Chicago's legendary musical director Beckie Menzie, for some of your favorite songs... that almost weren't. Music fans will also get to hear the juicy backstories behind these beloved tunes. There will be plenty of surprises.
Praised as "tour de force of cabaret, opera, and jazz" by the Chicago Tribune and "a lovely vocalist... the right balance of musicality, story, and heart," by Cabaret Scenes Magazine, Hilary Ann Feldman has received critical acclaim for her solo cabaret shows at venues throughout Chicagoland, as well as New York, Los Angeles, and London, England. She was named "one of the top five female musicians in Chicago," by CBS2 Chicago, and her debut CD "Taking Flight" was awarded "CD of the Year" in the Cabaret/Folk genre by New York's Cabaret Hotline Online (available on iTunes, CD Baby, and Amazon).
