Blue Moon is the tart, sad screen tale of a famous musical divorce and the broken Hart behind it. Lyricist Lorenz (Larry) Hart was the short, sharp, closeted, conflicted creator – with composer Richard Rodgers -- of more than 500 songs, many beloved mainstays of American popular music: Falling In Love With Love, Isn’t It Romantic? My Funny Valentine, Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. Yet only bits of the title tune are heard in the movie. New York cabaret veterans Eric Yves Garcia and Maria Abous fill the gap with a night of Rodgers and Hart treasures. And, yes, one by Oscar Hammerstein. Plus lyric sheets for the audience to sing along with. For better and verse.
The 2026 season of the annual concert series Hamptons Summer Songbook By the Sea opens with “An Evening With Norm Lewis” on June 28, followed by Ann Hampton Callaway in “Here’s to Life” on July 11, and Klea Blackhurst and Billy Stritch in “Dreaming of a Song: The Music of Hoagy Carmichael” on July 18, and Eric Yves Garcia and Maria Abous in “Beyond Blue Moon (and Before the Broken Hart)” on July 25. The series continues with Barbara Fasano and Eric Comstock in “A Swell-egant, Elegant Party” on August 1, KT Sullivan, Mark Nadler, Christine Pedi, and Stephanie Pope in “Hey, Old Friend! A Cabaret Jubilee” on August 22, Pamela Morgan in “What’s Cooking?” on August 23, and closes with Donna McKechnie in “A Musical Memoir” on August 29. All shows start at 7:30 PM (doors open at 7:00 PM). Produced by Donna Rubin and LTV's Creative Director Josh Gladstone, Hamptons Summer Songbook By the Sea offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience Broadway-caliber talent up close in the unique environment of LTV Studios.

Recipient of the Margaret Whiting Award and a Bistro Award for Singer-Instrumentalist, he most recently won the Donald F. Smith Award of the Mabel Mercer Foundation during its annual Cabaret Convention at Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Maria Abous
Vocalist
Maria Abous is a “cross-over soprano” whose voice “begs for lush orchestration” (Rolling Stone UK), has performed on iconic NYC stages including Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, 54 Below, The Triad, and Birdland. Celebrated as “the embodiment of a leading lady -- her presence charming, her interpretations sympathetic, and her vocals gorgeous” (Woman Around Town), Maria holds a B.A. in Music from Columbia University and a Master’s in Voice Performance from the Longy School of Bard College. Her first album, Crescendo, re-imagines classic jazz and theater standards as love songs from mother to child. A mom of three herself, she is a passionate advocate for the support of new mothers. Her second CD, Merry Little Christmas, “brings an ethereal twist to Christmas classics with the timeless allure of Grace Kelly, the vocal warmth of Frank Sinatra, and a heart all her own.” (Daily Front Row) Find her at mariaabous.com.
David Alpern
Host / Producer
David Alpern of Sag Harbor comes to cabaret as the son of a “girl singer” on the road around the U.S. and on the radio in New York circa 1939. Starting in 1963, Alpern was a New York correspondent for United Press International, then reporter, writer, and senior editor at Newsweek magazine, and for more than 30 years hosted Newsweek On Air, an hour-long, domestic and overseas radio broadcast (later independent and nonprofit as For Your Ears Only). It featured conversations with newsmakers, policy experts, and top entertainers, including Katharine Hepburn, Katharine Graham, Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein, Walter Cronkite, Robert Caro, John le Carre, Nora Ephron, Rosemary Clooney, and Barbara Cook—some 10,000 interviews, most still posted at non-profit https://archive.org/details/foryourearsonly.
