The Auditorium Theatre Presents ON STAGE WITH... Susan Werner- Classics 8/13

The Auditorium Theatre proudly presents On Stage with...Susan Werner - "Classics" as part of the intimate "On Stage With..." 2009 Summer Cabaret Series. Throughout the course of her colorful career, singer songwriter Susan Werner has cultivated a reputation as a daring and innovative songwriter with a sassy, upbeat live show. Her work infuses traditional music styles and methods with her unmistakable contemporary worldview, and challenges listeners to experience music from a fresh and unexpected perspective.

On her eighth and most recent album "Classics," Werner delivers entirely new string arrangements of mainstream popular songs by top songwriters from a "classical" pop era, the 1960s and 1970s. Drawing on her unique training as a classical vocalist and the diverse talents of esteemed Boston Symphony and Pops players, "Classics" sets a mood that highlights elegance and sophistication previously overlooked in the first lives of songs such as Paul Simon's "A Hazy Shade of Winter," Marvin Gaye's "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)," Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed" and America's "Lonely People."

This unique, up-close-and-personal "On Stage With..." cabaret show allows the audience to enjoy the rare and exciting experience of sitting at tables of six on the stage of the magnificent Auditorium Theatre while enjoying one of the nation's most talented cabaret stars. The stage is transformed into an intimate 1940s-style cabaret club with tables, cocktail service and light appetizers, complete with a magnificent view of the Auditorium Theatre's Louis Sullivan-designed interior from a vantage point typically reserved for performers.
