Tony nominee Gregg Edelman will make his Feinstein debut on February 7th and 8th with the presentation of his cabaret show, "Back in Town." Edelman presents a host of old-time, cabaret standards that were highlights at some of the hottest clubs across the country that included places like the Empire Room in Chicago, the Coconut Grove in Los Angeles and the Persian Room in New York City.
Gregg approaches his repertoire, which features both classics from the Great American Songbook and a few items of more recent vintage, with genuine affection, solid musicianship and a natural, effortless swing. His rich expressive baritone caresses evergreen ballads like, "When I Fall in Love and "In The Still of the Night", yet also reveals the impassioned ardor smoldering beneath two Michel Legrand musical masterpieces, "I Will Wait for You" and "The Windmills of Your Mind" and the bluesy late night confessional, "Round Midnight."
Gregg pays homage to his mentor, the late Cy Coleman, composer of "City Of Angels,"(the show for which Gregg received the first of his four Tony nominations) with a sly and sexy rendition of the Coleman/Leigh gem, "You Fascinate Me So." He also fearlessly tackles the zany humor and sophistication wordplay of Schwartz and Dietz's "Rhode Island is Famous for You" and Cole Porter's "At Long Last Love."
Directed by ten time MAC award winning director, Barry Kleinbort, With a musical direction by the multi MAC award winning Christopher Denny, "Back In Town" is a first class evening of song, superbly deliverd by one of Broadway's top leading men, Gregg Edelman, a performer who can continuously charm and delight, and, just as effortlessly, touch your heart.
