ANDREA MARCOVICCI and MAUDE MAGGART

Sat., June 7, at 8 p.m.  (Door opens and dinner service begins at 6 p.m.)   ANDREA MARCOVICCI and MAUDE MAGGART conclude their 2025 “Spring Semester” of monthly shows with a tribute to Irving Berlin.

Andrea and Maude have chosen Berlin to be the recipient of “special treatment” for their Farewell to Spring in anticipation of a relaxing (yet productive) family-focused “summer off.”  Irving Berlin himself would be pleased and honored to participate in the engaging and invigorating blend of warmth and humor (laced with a dash of musicology) that we always appreciate from this pair.

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 there 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.”
