Burt Bacharach Tribute 'WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW' Coming to SideNotes Cabaret

Syncopated rhythms, unique chord progressions and jazz harmonies will be front and center as SideNotes Cabaret presents WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW: A TRIBUTE TO Burt Bacharach, March 30 to April 2, 2017 at Sunset Playhouse in Elm Grove.

Highlighting a career that spans more than 50 years, vocalist CYNTHIA COBB and pianist/vocalist BRIAN MYERS will star in this exciting retrospective of Bacharach's compositions.

As part of the professional SideNotes Cabaret Series, Cobb and Myers will be joined by drummer Jim Ryan to present four performances in the intimate, relaxed atmosphere of Sunset's Studio Theater. Bacharach, a six-time Grammy Award winner and three-time Academy Award winner, composed dozens of popular hit songs, many with lyricist Hal David. Known for their collaborations with Dionne Warwick, the Bacharach/David team also scored numerous successes with Perry Como, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones, The Carpenters and other artists. The cabaret is written and directed by BECKY SPICE.

CYNTHIA COBB is well known to audiences in and around the Midwest. In addition to her many appearances with Skylight Theatre, she has performed at Candlelight Dinner Playhouse, Drury Lane Theatre, Marriott Theatre at Lincolnshire and Gateway Playhouse. BRIAN MYERS is a versatile pianist and singer with performance credits in musical theatre, opera, drama and choral music. He works regularly as a music director and has collaborated with Milwaukee Opera Theatre, First Stage Children's Theatre and Soulstice Theatre. Jim Ryan appears regularly at Sunset Playhouse and performs locally with several big bands, small combos and theatre companies.

Performances are Thursday through Saturday, March 30th to April 1st at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, April 2nd at 3:00 p.m.
