Marcovicci, Akers, Ross, et al. Set for Final Months of London's Pizza on the Park

London's Pizza on the Park recently announced that it will remain open until September and has added further bookings.

Andrea Marcovicci will perform "Skylark: Andrea Marcovicci Celebrates Johnny Mercer" from June 1-6 and June 8-13. One of America's finest lyricists, multiple Oscar winner Johnny Mercer collaborated with our best composers including Hoagy Carmichael, Harold Arlen, Harry Warren, Richard Whiting, and Henry Mancini creating hits for Sinatra, Garland, Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. Marcovicci illuminates the man behind the music and uncovers the giddy, pensive, heartbreaking and impish lyrics crafted by Mercer. Highlights include: "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive," "Dream," "That Old Black Magic," "Autumn Leaves," "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)," "Too Marvellous for Words," and "Moon River."

Karen Akers will also perform from June 8-13. Karen Akers is one of America's more arresting and successful concert and cabaret stars. She is the recipient of the 2005 NY Nightlife Award for "Outstanding Female Cabaret Vocalist in a Major Engagement" and the 2008 "NY Nightlife Living Legend Award." Ms. Akers has appeared in many prestigious venues worldwide, including Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and New York's premiere nightspots such as Café Carlyle, Rainbow & Stars, Le Jazz Au Bar, and now makes her Manhattan cabaret home at The Oak Room at The Algonquin Hotel. She has taken her music to the south of France, London's Pizza-on-the-Park, to Russia and Barcelona's Opera House.

From June 15-17 audiences can enjoy "An Evening with Steve Ross" featuring the songs of Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, and Irving Berlin. Ross will also be the host of a black-tie event on June 18.

Other events include Michael Peavoy on June 27, Claire Martin and Richard Rodney Bennett from July 1-3, Cassidy Janson on July 11, Al Pillay from July 15-17, Kelly Price on July 18, Simon Green from July 22-24, Shona White on July 25, Harry the Piano from August 5-7, and Gary Williams on September 4.
