A host of theatre and cabaret favorites will take part in The Music of Jeremy Schonfeld Oct. 29 at Birdland.

Joining the acclaimed composer on the intimate stage of the famed jazz club will be Tony Award winner Jarrod Emick as well as Natalie Douglas, Dave Barrus, Jessica Bogart, Julie Danao-Salkin, Christian Campbell, Adam Jacobs, Karla Mosley, Paige Price, Joe Ricci and Amy Spanger. Show time is 7 PM.

Cabaretgoers can expect to hear tunes from Schonfeld's "Blue Skies and All" and "Drift" recordings as well as songs from his forthcoming projects.

Schonfeld is known for blending tuneful pop, hard-edged rock, gospel, soul and blues. He's been compared to Billy Joel and Jonathan Larson. Schonfeld is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music and BMI-Lehman Engel Musical Theater Workshop. The album for his musical Drift (with Craig Pospisil) was released by Sh-K-Boom Records. That show was seen at the 2006 New York Musical Theatre Festival.
