FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY, the nightclub proclaimed "Best of New York" by New York Magazine and "an invaluable New York institution" by The New York Post, will continue its star-studded Fall 2009 season with television stars Michael Urie and Becki Newton on February 21. Due to high demand for tickets, a second show has been added at 10:30 PM. In a shameless attempt to land jobs on Broadway, the "Ugly Betty" stars will don not-so-well-fitting masks of musical cabaret geniusness in a misguided quest to go from secondary TV actors to bona fide Broadway stars. Their attempt to take The Great White Way by storm, which features the direction (baby sitting) of Lance Horne, will take place at the Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue).

Becki Newton began her career in television commercials, and over the course of the next 5 years appeared in over 50. Meanwhile, she hosted her own late night celebrity interview show on TBS called "Movie Junky," as well as performed her own one-woman show at Duplex. From there, Becki traveled to Los Angeles, and began work on various television shows, including "American Dreams," "The Mens Room," "Cold Case," "Charmed," "The Loop" (pilot), and "The Dave Sheridan Project" (pilot).

Upon returning to NYC, she guest starred on "Law and Order: SVU," and appeared in the films August Rush opposite Jonathan Rhys Meyers and P.S. with Topher Grace. Currently, Becki plays Amanda Tanen in the award-winning comedy "Ugly Betty." She also appears along-side Michael Urie in the web series "Mode After Hours." On stage, she recently starred opposite her husband in the NY City Center Encores! production of Girl Crazy.

Michael Urie appears as Marc ST. James, Wilhemina Slaters ever-present sidekick, in ABCs much-lauded and adored-by-audiences "Ugly Betty." The New York-trained actors work has taken him from his native Texas to Seattle, San Diego, Washington DC, Austin and the Berkshires, but he was back in his beloved New York playing a bearded geologist and getting blown away nightly by an exploding Mt. St. Helens in the off-Broadway production of Phenomenon when he was tapped for "Ugly Betty."

The recipient of the 2002 John Houseman Prize for Excellence in Classical Theatre from the Juilliard School, from which he holds an acting degree, Urie's classical credits include Shakespeare Hamlet, Othello, Titus Andronicus, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Love's Labors Lost and the Jacobean drama The Revenger's Tragedy. Most recently he starred off-Broadway as iconic fashion designer Rudi Gernreich in the critically acclaimed The Temperamentals, and appears regularly in the Off-Broadway smash Celebrity Autobiography. His film work includes the star turn as Eric in WTC View (2006), and he was heard last fall as Sebastian the Pug in Disney's hit Beverly Hills Chihuahua.

FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY will present Michael Urie and BECKIE NEWTON on Sunday, February 21 at 8:00 PM AND 10:30 PM. Both shows have a $40.00 cover with $60 premium seats available, in addition to a $25.00 food and beverage minimum. Jackets are suggested but not required. FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY is located at 540 Park Avenue at 61st Street in New York City.
