Karen Mason will make her Chicago premiere with a special concert event honoring legendary composer Jule Styne, known for works like Gypsy and Funny Girl. The performance features arrangements by Christopher Denny and Barry Kleinbort, and Mason will be accompanied by pianist Beckie Menzie. Known for her roles on Broadway, Mason's return to the stage promises to celebrate Styne’s remarkable contributions to musical theater. This event is part of a weekend series remembering the iconic Davenport's Piano Bar and Cabaret.
