Eleri Ward News

Today's top stories include a new rule for critics being invited to The Music Man. Breaking from the Broadway tradition, the musical has invited critics to its opening night performance rather than to previews. Josh Groban is going on tour this summer! Plus, a new stage musical adaptation of the book 'The Last Unicorn' is in the works with Fergie attached.

This tour will be the first time Josh has played songs for a live audience off his latest album, Harmony, released in November 2020. Special guests joining him on this tour are the legendary New Orleans Preservation Hall Jazz Band as well as violinist/singer Lucia Micarelli, and singer-songwriter Eleri Ward.

New York cabaret is back and in many ways, it is better than ever. We can take pride in a community that is stronger, more supportive, and more diverse than it has ever been. There is, of course, much to do still, but we are on a path that may lead us toward a second “golden age” of New York cabaret that could rival the 1980s. The signs are all around us. Not only have most of our cabaret rooms survived the pandemic, but we have also seen the birth of new spaces this year. There is more crossover between Broadway and cabaret than we have seen in decades, and thanks to social media, there are more new artists on the scene as well. Even with all the pandemic woes, as Jerry Herman would say “the best of times is now. As for tomorrow, well, who knows…who knows…who knows?”

Eleri Ward's concert tonight at Rockwood Music Hall served as an album release of sorts. She performed selections from her new album A PERFECT LITTLE DEATH for a very appreciative audience comprised of both Sondheim fans and fans of indie music alike. If you weren’t a fan of Eleri Ward coming in, it’s unlikely that you left without being captivated by her. Her voice is crystalline pure, inhabiting the same effortless soprano world as Judy Collins before her. Her arrangements are rhapsodic and filled with yearning. She was visibly moved to be performing in front of a live audience again. Her performance was intimate and vulnerable and touching.

A Perfect Little Death, which was released in streaming and digital formats earlier this year, is an expansive folk reinvention of the one-of-a-kind Stephen Sondheim canon, rendered with ethereal, melancholic guitar arrangements.
