BWW Reviews: Betty Buckley Plays Feinstein's
Like entering a Rolls Royce, taking your seat in Feinstein's at Loews Regency to see a headliner, is your start of an unparalleled ride. Betty Buckley is that kind of experience. Words cannot make you hear the voice, the musicality, or the presence this Tony Award winning singer actress displays in her new show "AH MEN! THE BOYS OF BROADWAY!" now at Feinstein's. Her show consists of songs originally sung by men, and her superb voice presents them in a powerful and emotional new light. Being a William Finn fan, I was extremely moved by her rendition of VENICE (from Elegies). Just when she brings a tear to your eye with her ballads, she brings you back to a happy place with her great jazz ability in the up tempos. We all have our "memories" of Betty Buckley from her triumphs' on Broadway and this show reinforces the justification for using the word Extraordinary when describing Betty Buckley.
All great singers usually have musicians of like ability backing them up. Christian Jacob on piano created some of the best sounds I've heard on the Baldwin at Feinstein's. Anthony Pinciotti on Drums and Peter Barshay on bass completed the wonderful trio.
