ELAINE
ST. GEORGE IN "THE GIRLTHAT I MARRY" WITH CD RELEASE
Just
in time for Election season, where gay marriage is a hot-button issue,
Elaine St. George will perform her one-woman show, "The Girl That
I Marry," at HELEN'S RESTAURANT, CABARET & PIANO LOUNGE (169 Eighth
Avenue, NYC - 212-206-0609) for 6 performances, on Tuesdays Oct. 5th
through November 16th, all shows at 7:00 pm (no show on November 2nd,
Election Day). "The Girl That I Marry" is a witty, light-hearted examination
of gay marriage, putting a new spin on great American standards-songs
by Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer, Rodgers & Hart, Irving
Berlin and Stephen Sondheim, among others. She is accompanied by the
jazz-inflected duo of Tedd Firth on piano and bass player Adam Armstrong.
The show is being presented by Executive Producer Ethan Geto. There
is a cover charge of $15 and a $15 food/drink minimum. $10
cover for members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.
Ms. St. George first performed "The Girl That I Marry"
as a cabaret act in 1999. It garnered critical acclaim. All the recent
public attention focused on the issue of gay marriage has inspired
Ms. St. George to substantially revise the script of "The Girl That
I Marry" to include personal anecdotes and social satire. She performed
this new version of the show to critical acclaim at the Peter Jay
Sharp Theater at Playwright's Horizons last June. Elaine St. George
has become a fixture on the cabaret scene with topical shows such
as "All I Need Is The Girl" (1997), "Do Re Mi, Democracy" (2000),
and "Ain't We Got Fun," chosen as Best Concept Show of 2002 by Theatermania.
Ms. St. George's second CD, "That Old-Fashioned Love,"
a six-track EP that includes selections from "The Girl That I Marry,"
recorded live during the June performances, will be released in late
September. It will be distributed by Original Cast Records, and will
be available at Tower Record stores, Footlight Records, and wherever
cabaret music is sold. It will cost $10.00. It will also be available
on the Web site. Copies will be sold at performances of "The Girl
That I Marry" at HELEN'S.
Elaine has also been invited to perform at a benefit for the Lesbian
Community Cancer Project in Chicago on Sunday, October 17th, at a
cabaret brunch in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month at the SOUTH
RESTAURANT (5900 North Broadway, Chicago, Il - 773-561-4662 x 100
or http://www.lccp.org/
) from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.
