SUMMARY:LAURAL MEADE\, in "Ms. Tucker Will See You Now."
DESCRIPTION:Sat.\, Feb. 3.  LAURAL MEADE\, in “Ms. Tucker Will See You Now.”\nDuring nearly all of 2023\, Laural Meade continued to perfect her rollicking Sophie Tucker show\, tinkering with each iteration to ever more closely approach the asymptote of perfection.  Those in attendance in December who had previously seen the show only in its infancy were moved to remark how seemingly completely different\, how delightful\, and how terrific\, the show now inarguably is.  One longtime Gardenia patron even remarked that this show has become what is “maybe the best show I have ever seen at The Gardenia.” \nAn established member of the theater faculty at Occidental College\, playwright and musical performer Ms. Meade has sung in Southern California venues “both sacred and profane\,” and directs a choir for The Secret City.  Her vocal musicianship has turned heads at The Gardenia Open Mike\, where we were delighted to learn that she has penned this performance piece in which she exposits Sophie Tucker\, “the Last of the Red Hot Mamas\,” arguably the most popular entertainer of Tucker’s day\, in a bawdy cabaret exploration of Tucker’s extraordinary personal life\, career\, and risqué song catalog.   Because its subject “worked Blue\,” the show is constructed not for the faint of heart nor for the pearl-clutching pretenders of easy offence.  Using hilarity as pedagogue’s tool\, Ms. Mead also mobilizes impressive musical forces to allow her audience to conclude the evening “educationally enriched.”  Repeat audience members are now bringing friends—quite the testimonial as word of mouth spreads……

SUMMARY:ANDREA MARCOVICCI---a KURT WEILL VALENTINE
DESCRIPTION:Wed.\, Feb. 14.  VALENTINE’S DAY with ANDREA MARCOVICCI (a “Kurt Weill Valentine\,” with Brad Ellis at the piano\, Nate Light on bass\, and Jimmy Emerzian\, sax.) No one gives romance like Marcovicci at The Gardenia\,  and post-pandemic\, she gives it even better.  Don’t let this Valentine’s Day go by without indulging yourself in that which Andrea does best— and on this most romantic day of the year\, you won’t have a better Valentine’s Day anywhere else. \nPerhaps inspired by his wife\, Lotte Lenya\, or perhaps inspired by the words of our greatest lyricists\, (Ira Gershwin and Alan J. Lerner\, to name just two\,) Weill seems to have reserved his most indelible melodies for songs of love.  Highlights are “My Ship\,” “It Never Was You\,” and “Speak Low\,” and\, as anticipated with any Marcovicci show\, “you’ll find yourself laughing and learning:”  how Kurt Weill\, this German émigré\, was destined to become an American treasure. \n—Frequently introduced as “the Queen of Cabaret\,” Ms. Marcovicci transformed the genre\, has created over 35 nightclub acts at The Gardenia\, and holds the record—an unprecedented 25 seasons—at the legendary Oak Room at NYC’s Algonquin Hotel—

SUMMARY:CLAUDE HALL
DESCRIPTION:Sat.\, Feb. 24.  CLAUDE HALL presents “Nina Simone—A Single Woman.  (Side B.)”  In January\, Ms. Hall will have reprised “Impassioned Spirit\,” Ms. Hall’s compelling and informative show examining the arc of Nina Simone’s life from Simone’s “discovery” in an Atlantic City piano bar singing “I Loves You Porgy” through her participation in the civil rights movement.  Finding the trove of material she uncovered too rich for that one short evening of cabaret\, Ms. Hall builds upon it with this show\, continuing to mine nuggets from Simone’s legacy—the nuggets perhaps even more personal this time—but once again supported by Musical Director\, Jamieson Trotter. \nBorn in Brooklyn of Haitian parents\, Miss Hall moved to Paris in 1989\, but an autumn weekend in Prague in 2003 proved pivotal when a friend overheard her singing a few Gershwin tunes and asked her to record a demo of “When I Fall In Love.”  This led to a sojourn in Saint Bart’s\, where she became the resident singer at Casa Nikki and La Plage\, and to which she returned in 2019 as the featured artist at the St. Bart’s Jazz Festival.  She has been resident artist at l’Ermitage Hotel\, Hotel Angeleno’s West Penthouse Lounge\, La Valencia Hotel\, and at Bar Marmont\, and she has also returned to New York to perform at the Metropolitan Room.
