"The pursuit of love “
with the handicap of an overdeveloped sense of irony" is the theme
of this collection of songs from the world of theatre, pop and jazz,
which loosely follows the story of our heroine as she journeys from
innocence to cynicism and beyond. Letting the songs tell their story,
Mardie concentrates on lyrics that amuse, surprise, delight and even
shock.
Some of the great twentieth
century composers and lyricists celebrated are Kander & Ebb, Marc
Blitzstein, Rodgers & Hart, Hank Beebe, Lerner & Lane, Stephen Sondheim,
Bock & Harnick, and NoÔl Coward. Unproduced works by contemporary
composers and lyricists are also represented in this eclectic, funny
and moving show. At the piano for this engagement will be Seth Weinstein.
Original musical direction was by Ken Lundie, and the show's director
is Jay E. Raphael, with Philip Officer as artistic consultant.
Mardie Millit, a singer
with a diverse background in classical, theatrical and pop music,
has been seen in the New York area as Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair
Lady" and Musetta in "La Boheme," and co-starred in the pop revue
"Gift from the Heart: the Pat Rasile Songbook." Regionally she has
performed the roles of Christine in Yeston's "Phantom," Sophie in
Terrence McNally's "Master Class," Sarah in "Guys & Dolls," and Maria
in "The Sound of Music," among others. She has recorded original material
for several songwriting teams, and is a regular performer at SAM'S
DREAM STREET CABARET (263 West 45th Street, NYC - 212-719-5416) in
