Andrea McArdle Will Prove You Don't Know Me at the Metropolitan Room

By Andrew Gans
17 Jul 2008

Andrea McArdle

Former Annie star Andrea McArdle will make her Metropolitan Room debut in August.

The Broadway favorite will debut her new cabaret act, You Don't Know Me, Aug. 13 at 7:30 PM. Subsequent shows are scheduled for Aug. 14 at 7:30 PM, Aug. 15 at 7:30 PM, Aug. 16 at 7:30 PM, Aug. 22 at 7:30 PM, Aug. 23 at 7:30 PM, Aug. 24 at 7 PM and Aug. 25 at 7:30 PM.

"If orphan Annie is the one recollection you have of Andrea … then you are in for a glorious surprise," read You Don't Know Me press notes. "Although embedded forever in our hearts as the red-headed orphan in the red dress with the big belt voice - Andrea has continued her extraordinary career on and off the Broadway stages with a unique talent, perspective and energy. In her show she revisits some of her favorite Broadway musical memories from the many shows she's starred in and she takes us on a great journey with her very entertaining and surprising, backstage stories … she also reveals her natural musical instincts in contemporary pop and jazz and even teases us with hints of Broadway roles yet to come."

Andrea McArdle made her Broadway debut in the original 1977 production of Annie for which she received a Tony nomination for Best Actress in a Musical. Her other Main Stem credits include Les Misérables, Starlight Express, Beauty and the Beast and State Fair. McArdle also played Momma Rose in a production of Gypsy at Texas' Bay Area Houston Ballet & Theatre. Her screen credits include "Annie" and "Rainbow."

The Metropolitan Room is located in Manhattan at 34 West 22nd Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. There is a $30 cover charge and a two-drink minimum. Call (212) 206-0440 for reservations or visit www.metropolitanroom.com.
