MILLA ILIEVA'S "SO MANY NIGHTS, SO MANY MEN" AT THE ENCORE
As she adopts the more streamlined version of her name for professional
purposes, the jazz/cabaret sensation Milla Ilieva returns to New York
cabaret with a brand new show about all the men in her life, "So Many
Nights, So Many Men," a style-spanning romantic romp that mixes Broadway
ballads, obscure comic gems, rediscovered theatre cult favorites and
American popular songbook chestnuts. The show, featuring musical director
Paul Trueblood on piano, and directed by Margery Beddow, plays three
consecutive Fridays at 9:30 pm and Saturdays 5:00 pm at THE ENCORE
(266 West 47th Street, NYC - 212-221-3960 -
http://www.theencorenyc.com/
) starting October 28th and running through November 12th.
A multifaceted vocalist, Milla (who trained at the Peabody Conservatory,
The Juilliard School in its Professional Studies Program, and the
Academie Ravel in France) is as comfortable performing standards as
she is singing opera and country western. In "So Many Nights, So Many
Men" Milla lampoons her apparently insatiable appetite for love (she's
been engaged five times!) as she jumps from songs by composers as
varied as Rimsky-Korsakov, Vernon Duke, Jule Styne, Ray Jessel, Harold
Arlen, Sondheim, Kander & Ebb, Jacques Urbont, Lionel Bart and Arthur
Schwartz.
