KAREN AKERS RETURNS TO THE
ALGONQUIN OAK ROOM April 24 � May 19

KAREN AKERS, one of the most successful international cabaret singers, will headline an exclusive four-week engagement in the Oak Room at The Algonquin Hotel, 59 West 44 Street, April 24 � May 19, 2001. Shows are at 9 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; and at 9 and 11:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. There is a $50.00 cover charge plus a $15.00 food/drink minimum. The phone number for reservations is (212) 840-6800.

This season's collection of songs will be culled from such diverse composers as Randy Newman, Kurt Weill, Charles Trenet, Michel Legrand, Cy Coleman, Johnny Mercer and Harold Arlen. Musical direction and arrangements are by Don Rebic.

In addition to the new program of songs, Ms. Akers will perform her highly praised show from last season at the 11:30 PM shows only on Friday and Saturday evenings. These songs are the basis of her new CD, "Feels Like Home," which DRG will release in conjunction with this engagement.

Karen Akers has had a long and varied career. From Broadway ("Nine" and "Grand Hotel") to Carnegie Hall and The Hollywood Bowl, her multi-faceted accomplishments include films (Woody Allen's "The Purple Rose of Cairo" and Mike Nichols's "Heartburn") recordings (6 solo CD's), and two of her own PBS specials.
