Betty Buckley Sings from 2 Latest CDs at Feinstein's Feb.5-24

Feinstein's at the Regency continues its Spring 2008 season with the return engagement of Tony Award winning singer and actress Betty Buckley. Her show, which runs from February 5 - 24, will feature selections from "Quintessence," her new CD from Playbill Records / Sony BMG and "Betty Buckley 1967," released last year. Her late shows will be a special program of theater music from her acclaimed career and beyond. All performances will be at the Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue at 61st Street).

Betty Buckley won a Tony Award for her performance as "Grizabella" in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, a Tony Award nomination for her performance as "Hesione" in Triumph of Love, and an Olivier nomination for her interpretation of "Norma Desmond" in Sunset Boulevard. Her upcoming CD, "Quintessence," is a tribute to Buckley's eighteen year working relationship with jazz great Kenny Werner.  This album is the pair's ninth album together and is a perfect bookend to the recently released "Betty Buckley 1967."

"Betty Buckley 1967" features a nineteen year old Buckley in her first ever studio recording.  The resulting eleven tracks expose the young abandon and whimsical charisma of a girl who will one day become one of the Great White Way's greatest talents. Conversely, "Quintessence," displays the seasoned finesse of a musical virtuoso - a performance that travels the artistic landscape of one of today's most distinguished and celebrated performers.
