Jane Scheckter's "The Moon, the Stars, Albert Einstein and Love" at the Metropolitan Room Five Nights: November 8, 9, 15, and 16 at 7pm and November 17 at 9:30pm

Accompanied by Tedd Firth, Tom Hubbard and Peter Grant, Jane Scheckter's program features heavenly-inspired songs by the great songwriters of the Twentieth Century

Excerpts from rave reviews for Jane Scheckter's last show at the Metropolitan Room, "Play a Simple Melody: A Tribute to Irving Berlin."

"Jane Scheckter, a singer with both feet on the ground...asserting herself as a no-frills pop-jazz singer with her eyes wide open...Ms. Scheckter's resistance to pop sentimentality paid off in her plain-spoken renditions...simple heart-felt lyrics, which speak for themselves. But the show was mostly about swinging along with one of the stronger cabaret trios, especially when Ms. Scheckter leaned into a witty, happy-go-lucky 'I'm Putting All My Eggs in One Basket', the beat was on." - Stephen Holden, New York Times, September 3, 2009

"For years, I've believed that Berlin's best interpreter is Eydie Gormé, who seems to relate to the man instinctively. But Scheckter, who gives the impression of approaching Berlin somewhat more cerebrally, is surely a candidate for ranking alongside Gormé. Simply put, she gets the legendary tunesmith." - David Finkle, Bistro Awards.com, The Village Voice, and Huffington Post

"One knows going in that a Jane Scheckter show will be great...She has it all...She's one of the shining lights of cabaret." - Jan Wallman, Nitelife Exchange.com

"A top-notch show...a classy, well-researched hour...a delightful singer." - John Hoglund, TheaterScene.net
