Review: Betty Buckley Celebrates STORY SONGS at the RRAZZ ROOM at the Prince
Sunday, September 18, 2016 marked the First Anniversary of Philadelphia's The Rrazz Room at the Prince Theatre for proprietors Robert Kotonly and Rory Paull. One year to the day when Karen Mason thrilled the audience, the legendary stage and screen star Ms Betty Buckley took the stage with composer and arranger Christian Jacob to present their program "Story Songs."
Ms Buckley and Mr Jacob performed a variety of timeless songs, many showcased in Ms Buckley's recent LP's "Ah, Men!" and the T. Bone Burnett collaboration of love, "Ghostlight."
She also treated the audience to an anecdotal recounting of her college production of Brigadoon and capped off the cabaret program with an understated and remarkably captivating encore of the signature "Memory."
