On Monday, May 13, Cortés Alexander stormed the Broadway at Birdland stage with "The Swell Show," along with Billy Stritch at the piano, Ray Marchica on drums, Norman Ludwin on bass, Clarke Thorell on guitar/ukulele, and Julie Garnyé and Melissa Bailey as "The Swell Girls." Scroll down for photos from the concert!
Alexander last appeared on Broadway as one-fourth of The Williams Brothers in the Tony Award-winning, Liza's At the Palace. For the past several years, he has been performing "The Swell Show" across the country, mixing pop, jazz, lesser-known Broadway tunes, and original compositions combined with amusing biographical anecdotes.
Cortés Alexander was the recipient of two MAC awards and a Backstage Bistro Award for his vocal group, The Tonics. Recently, he was nominated for "Best Male Cabaret Performer" by BroadwayWorld/LA and was dubbed one of the "Best Cabaret/Concert Artists" from Best in LA Theatre 2012.Photos Credit: Seth Walters
