The evening is directed and conceived by Jamibeth Margolis, with musical direction by Ben Cohn. David Leidholdt produces.

"The Songbook idea came from a previous revue that Jamibeth created while she was out of town directing a production of Jekyll and Hyde," said producer Leidholdt. "An actor in the cast approached her because he felt like that women always got the better songs, so they created a revue of songs written for men from existing material. We took that idea and decided to do it with all new material wanting to keep with the initial intent of 'Under-Exposed,' which is exposing audiences to the a new generation of musical writers." The revue features music written for the male voice from new shows that have been presented recently as workshops and readings in New York City, productions around the area, and as part of the recent New York Musical Theatre Festival. These include Owl Creek, Far From the Madding Crowd, Two Cities and Caligula.

The show also features some holiday tunes, pop tunes and cabaret songs by these "on the rise" musical theatre composers and lyricists.

Admission is $15 cover plus $15 food or drink minimum. Bring a toy for "Toys for Tots" and get $5 off the cover price.

Opia is at 103 E. 57th St. off of Lexington Ave. For information, call (212) 688-3939 or visit www.liveatopia.com.
