The 8 PM performance is titled Are You Havin' Any Fun? The legendary singer, according to press notes, "continues her foray into her newly developed repertoire of jazz and swing while also reprising her now-classic renditions of songs from Broadway and the great American songbook."
Under the musical direction of Ted Rosenthal on piano with Dave Riekenberg on woodwinds, Warren Odze on drums and Jay Leonhart on bass, Cook will perform a selection of songs by George Gershwin, Jack Yellin and Sammy Fain, Johnny Mercer, Vincent Youmans, Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen and John Lennon.
Barbara Cook, a 2010 Tony nominee for her performance in Sondheim on Sondheim, has starred on Broadway in Flahooley, Candide, The Gay Life, The Music Man and She Loves Me.
