The Valley by Eric Fegan & Jamie Maletz: Four tourists believe they have signed up for a volunteer trip to help "repair damage caused by local elements" in Iceland.

Ann Hampton Callaway: JAZZ GOES TO THE MOVIES, JUNE 25, 26, 28, & 29 AT 7:00PM

Tony-nominated, Platinum Award-winning singer-songwriter Ann Hampton Callaway's Jazz Goes To The Movies, her requisite new album, which debuted as #12 on the Billboard Jazz Chart, comes to Feinstein's/54 Below this June in a BRAND NEW SHOW!

There are precious few vocalists whose artistry flourishes in both the worlds of popular song and jazz, as each world has its own special demands and challenges. Like Sarah Vaughan, Diane Reeves, and Mel Torme, Tony-nominated, Theater World Award-winning singer-songwriter Ann Hampton Callaway manages this feat seemingly effortless, delivering vocal tour-de-forces marked by refined beauty, subtlety, grandeur, profound musicality and passion. Having done critically-acclaimed tributes to the likes of Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald, written hits for Barbra Streisand, released albums of original songs, and through her performances and recordings helped keep the Great American Songbook alive and vital, Ann decided for her fourteenth album to fulfill a long-time dream, a recording of great songs from classic motion pictures. Recently Shanachie Entertainment released Ann Hampton Callaway's Jazz Goes To The Movies a magnificent collection of sublime interpretations of great songs featured in beloved Hollywood films.

The companion show to the CD explores the fascinating ways jazz and film have come together to tell stories.The playlist includes "Taking a Chance on Love" from Vernon Duke's Cabin in the Sky, "Let's Face the Music and Dance" from Irving Berlin's Follow the Fleet, "This Time the Dream's on Me" from Harold Arlen's Blues in the Night, and "As Time Goes By," the Herman Hupfeld classic from Casablanca. Callaway also performs jazz songs she has recorded for films, including "Come Rain or Come Shine" from The Good Shepherd, starring Robert DeNiro, "The Nearness of You" from Last Holiday starring Queen Latifah, and "Pourquoi," a song she wrote for the new film Blind, starring Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore.

THE SONGS THAT MADE THEM STARS, JUNE 25 AT 9:30PM

Barbra Streisand, Mary Martin, Betty Buckley, John Raitt, Bernadette Peters... each of them (and so many more) were catapulted to stardom and thrust into the limelight by their performance of a great song. That's what it takes: just the right combination of talent, timing, and material to catch the lightning known as "stardom."

In The Songs That Made Them Stars, you'll hear the famous songs that turned actors into icons, and you'll also hear how those moments came to pass with fascinating, behind-the-scenes stories. Our cast of today's bright and beautiful Broadway and nightclub stars will deliver the songs with the sparkle and panache that made these songs star-makers in the first place.

The Songs That Made Them Stars will be produced, written, directed, and hosted by famed NYC impresario, Scott Siegel, who has created more than 300 major concerts all over the world. He has produced, written, and directed shows for Michael Feinstein, but he is, perhaps, best known as the creator, writer, director, and host of The Town Hall's signature series, Broadway by the Year, currently celebrating its critically acclaimed 19th season.
