Jennifer Sheehan, winner of the Noël Coward Foundation Cabaret Award and the Mabel Mercer Foundation's Julie Wilson Award, brings her critically-acclaimed show, "You Made Me Love You: Celebrating 100 Years of the Great American Songbook" to Bob Egan's in New Hope on Saturday September 3. Show time is at 8:30 pm. Tickets are $25.00

The show celebrates 100 years of the Great American Songbook, with timeless music from Berlin to Bucchino and Gershwin to Guettel. Sheehan's show recently sold out the run at the Metropolitan Room in New York.

A Juilliard graduate, Sheehan made her Carnegie Hall debut last year as a special guest of Michael Feinstein. She has performed as a featured vocalist in the "Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular"; in concert opposite Eric Michael Gillett at Guild Hall in the Hamptons; in the 92nd Street Y's "Lyrics and Lyricists Series" opposite Andrea Marcovicci and Klea Blackhurst; and in numerous New York Cabaret Convention concerts at Jazz at Lincoln Center. The show, which has received rave reviews from audiences around the country and critics alike (including an outstanding notice in The New York Times), features songs by Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Marilyn and Alan Bergman, Adam Guettel, and many more.

What the critics are saying:
"The gifted young cabaret singer Jennifer Sheehan.. presented a smart, far-reaching show.. Her strong, supple soprano is matched by an attunement to the dramatic arc of song lyrics.. Her streak of playfulness burst open like a sunflower...Young, good-looking and very astute, Ms. Sheehan gives you hope." Stephen Holden, The New York Times

"Jennifer Sheehan definitely makes her audience love her. (The show) is a classy showcase for Sheehan's well-trained soprano clarity, her sense of fun, graceful movements, and movie-star glamour. This is someone cabaret aficionados should be proud to call their own. She has moved to the top rung of charmers. Jennifer Sheehan has got that Cole Porter 'certain thing'-special, sensational, smashing." Elizabeth Ahlfors, Cabaret Scenes Magazine

"A major new voice in cabaret has arrived, and this is wonderful news for those who love good songs sung with the kind of artistry that makes each of them shinelike a precious gem." Joe Lang, Jersey Jazz Magazine
