BWW Reviews: Jamie deRoy & Friends Celebrate Songwriters
For her October shows the title should have been Jamie deRoy & her very talented Songwriter friends. Jamie, as she always does, interacts with her guest artists in a way that stimulates them to give performances that are unique and hugely entertaining. As William Finn (who appeared in a prior Jamie deRoy & Friends) remarked, "Jamie's interview of me was the best I've ever had". The show was directed by Jamie's extremely creative friend Barry Kleinbort who also displayed his wonderful performance abilities. Music Director was Shelly Markham.
For her two shows at the Metropolitan Room Jamie's Songwriter Friends were,David Bushkin, Marcy Heisler, Jake Holmes, Barry Kleinbort, Amanda Yesnowitz Deborah Abramson, Jeff Blumenkrantz, Lance Horne, Rick Jensen, Christine Lavin & Shelly Markham as well as Ms. deRoy. Christiane Noll was Jamie's Special Guest.
