Description Hailed as 'the most Sinatra-like' of the new generation of cabaret performers by Life Magazine, Andrea Marcovicci is a phenomenon, packing in audiences night after night.
For the last decade, her season at New York's Algonquin Oak Room has been a sell out and it's easy to see why. When you've been a theatre, film and television actress, you bring something dramatic to the world of cabaret. With wry humour, intelligence, charm and sass, Marcovicci turns every song into a story, singing it with haunting tenderness or all out raw emotion.
From Jerome Kern to Rodgers and Hart, from Hammerstein to Stephen Sondheim, Marcovicci does more than just sing the songs, she sets the stage. One moment its an odd detail, the next its poetry. Or a moment from her childhood. But its always a piece of herself.
See Andrea Marcovicci, spellbinder. It'll be a full house. And it'll be an intimate evening.
