Cabaret legend Nancy LaMott will be saluted on March 20th and March 27th at the Duplex Cabaret Theatre (61 Christopher St.) in We Miss Nancy: The Storefront Sings LaMott.  The show, in which over a dozen theatre and cabaret stars will perform, will be presented at 7 PM both evenings.

Lisa Asher, Bobby Belfry, Nick Cearley, Scott Coulter, Brandon Cutrell, Suzanne Fiore, David Friedman (Ragtime), David Gurland, Rick Jensen, Lina Koutrakos, Liz McCartney (Mamma Mia!, Taboo), Carolyn Montgomery, Julie Reyburn, Ruby Rims, Ricky Ritzel, Gabrielle Stravelli and Marty Thomas (Wicked) will perform songs with which LaMott is associated in the concerts. The songs are:

Ricky Ritzel – "It Was Not Exactly Paris"
Ruby Rims – "We Live on Borrowed Time"
Julie Reyburn – "The Child in Me"
Brandon Cutrell – "Where Do You Start?"
Lisa Asher - "In Passing Years"
Bobby Belfry – "That Old Black Magic"
Scott Coulter – "I'll Be Here with You"
Marty Thomas – "Come Rain or Come Shine"
Liz McCartney – "Listen To My Heart"
Carolyn Montgomery – "Beautiful Baby"
Lisa Asher – "Help is on the Way"

LaMott was renowned for a versatile singing voice, clear phrasing and her ability to emotionally connect to the songs she performed. Kathie Lee Gifford, a fervent LaMott fan who helped to make the singer known to many outside New York cabaret circles, saddened millions with the on-air announcement of the singer's death from uterine cancer in December of 1995 at the age of 41. LaMott completed six albums--"My Foolish Heart," "Beautiful Baby," "Come Rain or Come Shine: The Songs of Johnny Mercer," "Just in Time for Christmas" and "Listen to My Heart;" "What's Good About Goodbye?" as well as "Nancy LaMott-Live at Tavern on the Green" were released posthumously.
