Enjoy "a joyous intoxicating hour of music," (NY Cabaret Scenes Magazine) as the award-winning duo explores songs about the many concepts of time. Time: some people waste it, some try to reverse it, some don't have nearly enough of it and some can't keep it at all.

The show will feature songs by such writers as Cyndi Lauper, Duke Ellington, Jimmy Webb, Stephen Schwartz, Miranda Lambert, Sammy Cahn and many more. Performed as only thi celebrated duo can that has been called "one of compelling duos in cabaret today," by noted jazz critic Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune.

It's About Time will be presented at Davenports, 1383 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, every Saturday in April (4,11,18 & 25) at 8pm. There is a $20 cover charge with two-drink minimum.

They have also been featured at numerous Chicago Humanities Festival ASCAP concerts.

Their imaginative musical twists on jazz favorites, standards, contemporary pop, Broadway show tunes and film gems, have won them audience and critical acclaim across the country and around the globe. Menzie & Michael's diverse touring schedule has recently taken them to some very prestigious stages, including New York's Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and Town Hall.
