Marcovicci Returns to Chicago in CROSSING TIME

Called the "the greatest cabaret star of her generation" by the International Herald Tribune, star of screen, stage, concert and recording artist Andrea Marcovicci will be making a special concert appearance with her new show CROSSING TIME at Chicago's premier venue for music, Davenport's, 1383 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago.

The five special performances will take place Wednesday September 13 through September 16 at 8pm and Sunday, September 17 at 7pm. Admission is $35-$42 plus a two-drink minimum.. Due to the high demand, reservations are recommended by calling 773-278-1830 or visiting DavenportsPianoBar.com. Andrea will also be joined by her long-time musical director Shelley Markham

Andrea's latest creation, "Crossing Time," takes us on a journey through life's many milestones. From the sadness of loss, to the joy of wedding bells and beyond, these life-altering moments motivate us to stop taking the ride for granted and, instead, cherish each twist and turn.

The songs, many from the musical theatre, include classics from Irving Berlin, Kurt Weill and Jerry Herman along with the recent academy award nominee from the team of Hurwitz, Pasek & Paul. One song-cycle, originally performed at The Gardenia in 1987, during the two-year run of Marcovicci at Midnight, (when folks would sit on the floor to listen) hasn't been done since those exuberant late night marathons.
Fanciful, comical, whimsical and bittersweet, this material, even when new to the ears, feels like coming home.

In preparation for "Crossing Time" Andrea chose material with powerful lyrics and emotional melodies which give resonance to the belief that if life may seem to challenge you, there's always hope for the future and change. Here's to the ones who dream!
