ANDREA MARCOVICCI and MAUDE MAGGART

Sun., April 6, at 8 p.m.  (Door opens and dinner service begins at 6 p.m.)   ANDREA MARCOVICCI and MAUDE MAGGART continue their 2025 residency of monthly shows with “Flappers and Frivolities:  Songs of the 1920’s and 1930’s.” 

If Andrea’s premonitions about a show are any measure of its potential success (and her own thrill of anticipation should be, for those who know her and this duo well,) this may well be the season’s performance “not to be missed” in the pair’s continuing series of monthly appearances at The Gardenia.  (We are expecting the engaging and invigorating blend of warmth and humor laced with a dash of musicology that has become their well-known staple.)

Frequently introduced as “the Queen of Cabaret,” Ms. Marcovicci transformed the “cabaret genre,” has created over 35 nightclub acts at The Gardenia, and holds the record—an unprecedented 25 seasons—at the legendary Oak Room of The Algonquin Hotel—as well as the distinction of being the Oak Room’s final performer before its closing.  She has combined forces with Maude Maggart, considered by many to be Marcovicci’s heir apparent, who can boast her own cabaret beginnings at The Gardenia a half generation later.  Our favorite endorsement of Ms. Maggart comes from Jim Bruce:  “If you have not yet heard Maude Maggart sing, I envy you the moment of discovery because there is nothing quite like the very first time you realize what a talent she is.  Then again there is also nothing quite like every single time after.”
