LUCILLE CARR-KAFFASHAN BRINGS BEATLES SHOW TO TWO VENUES
Lucille Carr-Kaffashan takes a fresh look at the classic music and
lyrics of The Beatles in her critically acclaimed cabaret show, In
My Life, A Celebration of Beatles Music. With David Brunetti on piano
and Bob Einfrank on guitar, Lucille returns to THELEN'S RESTAURANT,
CABARET & PIANO LOUNGE (169 Eighth Avenue, NYC - 212-206-0609 -
http://www.helensnyc.com/
) at 4:00 pm on Sunday, March 18th, and makes her STOCKTON INN (1
North Main Street, Stockton NJ - 609-397-1250 -
http://www.bobegan.net/stockton-inn.html
) debut at 8:00 pm on Saturday, March 31st. If you are tired of Beatles
imitators who never quite measure up to the Fab Four, then this is
the show for you!
In My Life, A Celebration of Beatles Music was selected
by Cabaret Hotline Online as one of the Top 25 Cabaret Shows/Performers
of 2005. The show features a selection of songs released by the
Fab Four during the eight years that they recorded together, from
1962 to 1970. During that time, Lennon & McCartney and George Harrison
wrote over 200 songs that spoke of love and friendship, of longing
and redemption, of the search for peace and enlightenment, and of
memories about the lives of ordinary people. Lucille's program reflects
the breadth of both song subjects and musical styles that characterizes
the phenomenon that was The Beatles, and weaves their story with
remembrances of the cultural climate of The Sixties.
Lucille is the winner of the 2005 MAC Hanson Award.
Her previous cabaret outing was the highly acclaimed show Both Sides
Now which had successful runs at Mama Rose's and The Encore in NYC
and at Odette's in New Hope, PA, and was performed before a sold-out
audience at The Meadows in New Jersey.
Lucille performed for a number of years in the regional
productions of the New Jersey-based Entertainers Theater before
developing her first cabaret act. Since 1999, she has presented
five different shows at clubs in New York City, New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania, including Don't Tell Mama, Mama Rose's, The Encore,
The Meadows, and Odette's. She has also been a featured performer
in a number of special cabaret productions, including the Odette's
15th Anniversary Show, the Annual TeddyCare Show at the West Bank
Cafe in NYC, the 2005 and 2007 NYC Nightlife Awards shows, Cabaret
Hotline Online's 15th Anniversary Show, and Oprah's Angel Network
