Steven Blier and Mary Testa Set for Sing For Your Supper at Henry's Restaurant, 6/6
HENRY's Restaurant will present Sing for Your Supper featuring Steven Blier on Monday, June 6, 2011. Dinner will begin at 5 PM with the performance starting at 10 PM. HENRY's Restaurant is located at 2745 Broadway (at 105th Street).
The tenth installment of Sing For Your Supper will be a celebration of the pleasures of summer, and the perennial allure of women. Matt Boehler and Mary Testa bring their clarion voices and comic flair back to Henry's for the second time while the exquisite soprano Laquita Mitchell and the thrilling tenor Andrew Owens make their first "Sing For Your Supper" appearances. "The Girls of Summer" is an evening of thrilling singing and high-powered Broadway pizzazz. Steven is thrilled to make music with these four superb artists--and to share them with the wonderful denizens of Henry's. The evening will also feature Chef Mark Barrett's famous Baked Veal Ricotta Meatballs featured in the 3-course, Italian-American prix-fixe dinner.
Mary Testa has been seen on Broadway in Xanadu, Guys and Dolls, Chicago, Barnum, Marilyn, The Rink, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, On the Town, Marie Christine and 42nd Street, earning Tony nominations for her work in On the Town and 42nd Street.
