Courtenay Day Brings Her Show "Take Me To The World" To London

Appearing at Lauderdale House on Sunday, November 4th at 5:00 pm

With a style reminiscent of big band singers such as June Christie, Anita O'Day and Margaret Whiting, American cabaret performer Courtenay Day will bring her cabaret show to London's LAUDERDALE HOUSE (Highgate Hill, Waterlow Park, North London - 02 08 3488716) for one performance only, on Sunday, November 4th. Tickets are £10.00 (£8.00 concessions). Aptly titled "Take Me To The World," this show marks Courtenay's debut in London. Accompanied by her musical director Christopher Marlowe, Courtenay Day will perform at 5:00 pm. She is the first act of a double bill also featuring popular West End performer Simon Green.

Courtenay Day comes directly to London from her New York season at the prestigious ARCI'S PLACE (450 Park Avenue South, NYC - 212-532-4370 - http://www.arcisplace.com/) cabaret room in New York, where she debuted a new show called "When October Goes." Her previous cabaret show, "Something Cool," earned her much critical acclaim. Last year Day performed over twenty shows between New York and Philadelphia. A seasoned performer who began her career over seventeen years ago, she has presented a number of cabaret shows in New York at venues including DON'T TELL MAMA, DANNY'S, EIGHTY EIGHTS and JUDY'S. She inaugurated the cabaret room ODETTE'S in New Hope, Pennsylvania, near her country home near the small town of Schwenksville, where she runs a ballet school. A lifelong dancer who trained at American Ballet Theater, Courtenay has taught ballet for 25 years, and many of her students have gone on to be Broadway dancers. "Take Me To The World" touches on themes of home, relationships, and trying to peel away the layers that cover your experience of the world.

With respected pianist/arranger Christopher Marlowe, who created many arrangements for the late Nancy LaMott, Day has selected songs for this show including standards, musical theater fare, and songs from the movies. Highlights include two Harold Arlen songs, "Any Place I Hang My Hat is Home," and the lesser-known "Dissertation on a State of Bliss" as well as the Stephen Sondheim duo "Good Thing Going"/"Not A Day Goes By."
