The Broadway favorite returns with a sizzling summer evening of song on Monday, July 14.
Birdland Jazz Club will present Broadway, recording, and concert star Karen Mason in her brand-new solo show SPF! (Songs, Patter, and Fun!) on Monday, July 14 at 7:00 PM, both in person and via livestream.
In SPF!, Mason delivers a joyful burst of musical sunshine—celebrating adventure, summer, and travel with her trademark wit and powerhouse vocals. Audiences can expect a playful and poignant evening featuring songs like “Faraway Places,” “When in Rome,” “Downtown/I Know a Place,” “59th Street Bridge Song,” and more, all delivered with the warmth, humor, and emotional nuance that have made Mason one of cabaret’s most beloved performers.
Directed by Barry Kleinbort, with music direction by Christopher Denny and Tom Hubbard on bass, SPF! is sassy, brassy, and intimate—an essential stop on your summer calendar.

(earning a Drama Desk nomination), played Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, Madame Giry in Love Never Dies, and was featured in Wonderland, Hairspray, and Jerome Robbins' Broadway.
