Bay Area Cabaret Adds Performance of Pizzarelli and Molaskey Concert for 3/13

After selling out the original 5pm performance two months prior to the engagement, Bay Area Cabaret has added a second performance of John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey's acclaimed concert "Heart of a Saturday Night," 7:30pm Sunday March 13, 2011 at the Venetian Room of the Fairmont San Francisco (950 Mason Street). The winners of New York's coveted Nightlife Award, jazz guitarist John Pizzarelli and his wife, Broadway star Jessica Molaskey blend musical genres seamlessly and intelligently in their newest smash hit Café Carlyle show "Heart of a Saturday Night." The New York Times' Stephen Holden raves, "In wit and musical savvy, nothing matches these smart conceptual shows, in which Mr. Pizzarelli's jazz guitar and crooning and Ms. Molaskey's theatrical jazz singing fuse into something that's greater than the sum of its parts." Tickets ($45) are available at www.bayareacabaret.org or by phone at City Box Office (415) 392-4400.

Peppered with hilarious anecdotes from Pizzarelli's rich musical background and swathed in Molaskey's captivating grace and theatricality, "Heart of a Saturday Night" is an evening of delights for music and theatre lovers of all walks. Heralded as "a musical match made in heaven" by The New York Times, the show is a musical dialogue, poignantly pairing favorite songs with unexpected common themes-Irving Berlin's "Count Your Blessings" with hit song "Seasons of Love" from Rent or Gershwins' "Oh! Lady Be Good" with the tender "Something Good" by Richard Rodgers, to name a few. An eclectic smorgasbord, "Heart of a Saturday Night" also includes the music of Duke Ellington, Tom Waits, Stephen Sondheim, Joni Mitchell, Count Basie, Cole Porter, and DeSylva, Brown & Henderson, as well as influences from jazz, Brazilian samba, and more, in an evening enhanced by the effervescent banter and soulful stage presence of this husband and wife team.
