Celebrated nightclub singer Marta Sanders returns to The Laurie Beechman Theatre, 407 West 42nd Street, in "Follow Me," her new show that was seen in a short run last year. With Mark Nadler directing, the upcoming four-week major engagement of "Follow Me" performs on Thursday February 2; Saturday February 11; Thursday February 16, and Saturday February 25, all at 7pm.
In "Follow Me" Sanders explores her twin passions -- New York, and the rest of the world! With her music director John McMahon on piano, Sanders takes us on a world-class romp around the world. All the while she takes note of the gravitational pull of The Big Apple, a city at the core of her appreciation for distant people and pleasures. Showing up on the tour are "Maria by the River" -- a song she co-wrote with McMahon and Debra Zalkind -- as well as tunes by Carol Hall, Sting, John Wallowitch, Peter Matz, as well as tunes she introduced with her frequent collaborator, the late Michael Greer. A MAC and Bistro Award-winning vocalist, Sanders epitomizes a freewheeling American nightclub style that was prevalent until the '70s -- and that has endured with such pros as Bobby Short, Steve Ross, Barbara Cook and Marilyn Maye.Videos
