CLASSICS, the label that celebrates the heritage of Broadway and American
popular song, will release "Here's To The Ladies" (ps-208), the new
solo CD from 2-time Tony Award nominee Christine Andreas, on October
15th. Christine will celebrate the CD release with a performance at
the THE ALGONQUIN OAK ROOM (59 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-840-6800
- http://www.algonquinhotel.com/)
on October 27th at 9:00 pm. The CD was produced by Martin Silvestri
with Tommy Krasker serving as executive producer.
"Here's To The Ladies"
is the star's deeply personal tribute to the famed leading ladies
of Broadway. From exciting showstoppers to soaring ballads, this stunning
collection of musical theatre standards represents the glitter and
glamour, as well as the heart and soul, of the Great White Way. From
Mary Martin ("I'm Flying," "My Heart Belongs to Daddy") to Ethel Merman
("Some People," "They Say It's Wonderful") and from Gertrude Lawrence
("My Ship," "Shall We Dance?") to Barbara Cook ("Will He Like Me?"),
"Here's To The Ladies" celebrates the legends of the stage and the
songs they introduced. Christine is accompanied by a 45-piece orchestra
with arrangements by Doug Besterman (Tony Award winner for The Producers
and Thoroughly Modern Millie), Michael Starobin, Chris Boardman, Larry
Blank and Lee Musiker.
Christine Andreas first
took Broadway by storm as Eliza Doolittle in the 20th-anniversary
revival of "My Fair Lady," and subsequently received Tony Award nominations
for her work in "Oklahoma!" and "On Your Toes." She last appeared
on Broadway when she created the starring role of Marguerite in "The
Scarlet Pimpernel." Her other Broadway credits include "Words and
Music with Sammy Cahn," Nancy in "Angel Street" with Dina Merrill,
Rebecca in "Rags" and Alice in "Legs Diamond," with the late, great
Peter Allen. In London's West End, she starred in "The Fields of Ambrosia."
Her television credits
include "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Another World" and "The
Cosby Show." Christine recently made her Carnegie Hall debut in "Carnegie
Hall Celebrates Lerner & Loewe." She has performed at the White House,
Lincoln Center, Town Hall, with symphony orchestras throughout the
country and in some of the finest supper clubs in New York including
The Algonquin Hotel's legendary Oak Room and the Cafÿ Carlyle.
