Two-time Tony Award-winner, film star, and Weston, CT resident James Naughton will bring his new, intimate musical cabaret act Looking for the Heart of Saturday Night to the Westport Country Playhouse for four performances only: Thursday, November 9th and Friday, November 10th at 8 PM and Saturday, November 11th at 4 PM and 8 PM.

Presented last spring at Feinstein's at The Regency, Looking for the Heart of Saturday Night includes songs ranging from the standards of Frank Sinatra, Rodgers and Hart, Harold Arlen, Duke Ellington, Jimmy Dorsey, Johnny Mercer and Cy Coleman, to the contemporary hits of Tom Waits, Junior Brown and Randy Newman.

Naughton is the winner of two Tony Awards as Best Actor in a Musical. One for his portrayal of media-savvy lawyer Billy Flynn in the Broadway hit Chicago, and another for his role as a film-noir era detective in City of Angels.

He met equal success with his solo concert/cabaret acts James Naughton Live at the Manhattan Theater Club and Street of Dreams, which was staged at Westport Country Playhouse for a critically acclaimed two-week run in 1999.

His other Broadway credits include Democracy, Four Baboons Adoring the Sun, I Love My Wife, The Price, and Whose Life Is It Anyway?

Tickets are $35, $45, and $50. For ticket information, call (203) 227-4177. Out-of-town callers toll-free at 888-927-7529. You can also purchase online at www.westportplayhouse.org, or visit the box office at 25 Powers Court, off Route 1 in Westport.
