'Marcy & Zina Show' Returns to Birdland July 28th

Jim Caruso's Cast Party and TheaterMania.com, the leading source for exclusive theater information and live-events tickets nationwide, are proud to announce celebrated and honored songwriting and performing team of Marcy Heisler (bookwriter/lyricist) and Zina Goldrich (composer), in "The Marcy & Zina Show", Monday, July 28, 2008 at 7:00pm, as part of the long-running, Nightlife Award-winning concert series Broadway at Birdland.

The Marcy & Zina Show will feature the duo's best-loved songs written for theater and cabaret, as well as introduce new songs from the upcoming Broadway production of Ever After. Raves David Finkle of The Village Voice, HEISLER and GOLDRICH "sing the songs they write with the kind of wit and intelligence of the Dorothy Parkers and Fields… [They] have been turning out smart lyrics and sophisticated melodies for some time. Keep in mind they're the ones whose nifty love song rhymed 'quesadilla' with 'IKEA.' The team's strength lies in making the intelligent hummable – something predecessors like Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and the Gershwin Brothers were always able to do."
 
Heisler and Goldrich, who have been collaborating since 1993, were recently voted "Best Knocking on Broadway's Door Songwriting Team" in the Village Voice's Best of NYC edition, as well as the 2002 recipients of ASCAP's Richard Rodgers New Horizons Theatre Award. They have toured both domestically and internationally, performing their music at some of the world's most prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall, Canada's "Juste Pour Rire" comedy festival and the Kennedy Center.  Their song "Taylor, the Latte Boy" has been recorded by Christiane Noll and Susan Egan, and is featured on Kristin Chenoweth's album on the Sony label.  Their body of work has garnered much respect as well as several songwriter awards, including 4 MAC Awards, 2 Bistro Awards, and several  musical theatre grants. Their 32-song folio, Goldrich and Heisler Vol. 1, was published last year and is already in its second printing.  In 2004, Heisler and Goldrich authored Junie B. Jones for Theatreworks USA, which enjoyed a six-week run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, as part of New York's Free Summer Theatre Program and is currently touring the country.
