Martinez (On Your Feet) presents an eclectic evening of Broadway classics and modern fare presented as a series of self-tapes. Mauricio Martinez is a performer of great range. His work has been seen on Broadway, in London, in Mexico City, and even in his early career, in telenovelas. He is one of the great crooners with a talent for smart phrasing. Everything he does is infused with passion. He is equally adept at heartfelt ballads and sly comedic numbers. In another era, he would have felt right at home among the Rat Pack.

They reimagined some wonderful classics by artists as diverse as Ann Margaret, Nat King Cole, Jimi Hendrix, The Pointer Sisters, Cole Porter, Joni Mitchell, and Peggy Lee, utilizing only bass and voice with a little sprinkling of piano, violin, and Ms. Huffman’s “Low G” ukulele. The sparseness of the ensemble was a huge asset, focusing attention on the lyrics and the performances themselves. And the performances were lovely. Ms. Huffman is a gifted and versatile actress and Ms. McSweeney is a truly soulful jazzwoman.
