Charles Busch Will Bring Solo Show MY KINDA 60'S To The West Coast
Whether singing or dishing about his life or celebrities he has known, Charles Busch is always the epitome of entertainment and class. Cabaret Scenes Tony nominee, Drama Desk Lifetime Achievement honoree and two-time MAC Award winner, Charles Busch, employs all of his skills as performer and playwright in a new show that gets to the essence of this legendary entertainer.
Weaving tales of his Manhattan childhood and adolescence raised by his indomitable Aunt Lillian through the lens of the tumultuous decade of the 1960's, Charles will be singing a great songbook from Broadway to Pop, featuring the work of among others Burt Bacharach, Jimmy Webb, the Beatles, Henry Mancini, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Songs include Two for the Road, Anyone Who Had a Heart and The Times They Are A-Changin'.
He will be appearing with his long-time musical director/ arranger Tom Judson in a unique evening of music and storytelling, both hilarious and poignant.
