The Colony, Palm Beach to Kick Off Off Intimate Saturday Evenings in the Royal Room with T. Oliver Reid This Month

The Colony Hotel, which is widely recognized as the Palm Beach Home of the Great American Songbook, is promising guests and fans "Intimate Evenings" every Saturday from Memorial Day weekend through the 4th of July. This summer series of elegant dining and dancing on Saturday nights starts on May 23, from 7 to 10:30 pm. With a shiny new dance floor and music by Frank Derrick from the Palm Beach Pops, couples can arrive and depart on their own schedule. While there won't be the traditional hour-long cabaret shows, guests will enjoy two performance sets by Broadway veteran T. Oliver Reid (May 23 & 30). The winner of numerous awards for singing (Bistro Award for Outstanding Theme Show, MAC Awards for Male Vocalist and Male Debut, 2011 Julie Wilson Award), Reid's Broadway credits include Chicago, Kiss Me Kate, Follies, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Never Gonna Dance, La Cage Aux Folles, The Wedding Singer, Mary Poppins, Damn Yankees and the 25th anniversary concert of Dreamgirls. Stephen Holden of The New York Times has hailed "the wistfulness of his tone and the smoothness of his delivery."

The summer menu in the Royal Room will include USDA "Prime" beef aged in-house and several fresh and delicious seafood selections. Best of all, many of the savory choices will be prepared with herbs and vegetables grown in The Colony's all-natural on-site garden.

For dinner, performances and dancing in the Royal Room on Saturdays this summer, the cost is $100 per person, not including drinks. Without dinner, the cover charge is $50 per person with a two-drink minimum. Seating is limited so interested people should make reservations soon by calling 561.659.8100.
