Award-winning jazz/cabaret artist Milla Ilieva will bring her new show "Ten!Ten!Ten!" to "The Nightclub of New York," Feinstein's at Loews Regency (540 Park Avenue, at 61st Street) for a one-night-only evening on Sunday, October 10th (8:30PM). The evening will feature Paul Trueblood as musical director along with Jared Egan on double bass and James Brennan will direct.

The newly slimmed-down Milla will bring her signature saucy and sophisticated performance style to songs as different as Vernon Duke's "I Like the Likes of You" and "Better" by Ed Kleban to Rodgers & Hart's "Funny Valentine" and a stirring rendition of "Losing My Mind" and "Thinking of You" by Stephen Sondheim and Harry Ruby & Bert Kalmar respectively.

Milla will dedicate "Ten!Ten!Ten!" in memory of her former director, Margery Beddow, who passed away earlier this year. Miss Beddow was Bob Fosse's asstistant and performed in several of his shows, served as an understudy to Gwen Verdon and wrote what has been hailed as the quintessential book on Mr. Fosse, "Bob Fosse's Broadway." As a Choreographer, she created two Broadway shows, "Dear Oscar" and "Wind in the Willows"--- Nathan Lane's third Broadway outing.

The Juilliard alum, Milla Ilieva was the recipient of the 2006 Bistro Award and a two-time Nightlife Award finalist. She has performed in opera and in concerts throughout the U.S., France and Japan, and has devoted herself professionally to cabaret since 1992 when she debuted at Danny's Skylight Room in "An Earful of Music." In 1999 she began performing her critically acclaimed show "Hidden Voices" (with musical director Jeffrey Chappell) at Don't Tell Mama where it was extended several times. The show, featuring an intriguing collection of songs sung anonymously on screen and lip-synced by the stars, reprised at Danny's in February 2000. Her next show, "Do Re Milla," premiered at Dillon's Supper Club and Cabaret in 2003 and was reprised twice in 2004, first at the Iridium Jazz Club and then, in an unplugged version, as part of the first Midtown Cabaret Festival of Stars. In September 2004 Milla appeared in the first "Broadway Unplugged" concert at Town Hall. "Taking a Chance on Love" is Milla's third enterprise with musical director Paul Trueblood and director Margery Beddow. The show premiered at The Encore in October 2005 and was reprised and recorded in front of a live audience at Danny's Skylight Room Cabaret on Valentine's Day 2006. A CD of this performance was released in 2007 by Kritzerland's Executive Producer Bruce Kimmel and is available on line. Milla has performed at Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, The Players Club, The Lamb's Theatre, the Cabaret Convention at Town Hall, and at Tatou and has worked with such talents as Eric Comstock, Steve Ross and James Hammerstein.
