Natalie Douglas has extended her Broadway at Birdland residency with more “Tributes,” a monthly performance celebrating iconic singers. This past Monday, she sang songs originally performed by the extraordinary Ella Fitzgerald, with Billy Stritch at the piano, Mark McLean on drums and Jonathan Michel on bass.
Hers is some of the most iconic music of the 20th century and many of her songs formed the soundtrack of people's lives in the American post war era. And though Rosemary Clooney's public persona was one of grace and composure, in her personal life she was battling significant personal demons that almost brought her career (and possibly, her life) to an early end. But, at a time when self-care and taking steps to address ones mental health was not the norm, Ms. Clooney had the courage to face her demons head on and get the help she most desperately needed. It is this struggle (and triumph) that makes up the story of TENDERLY: THE ROSEMARY CLOONEY MUSICAL, which is now playing at Playhouse on Park in West Hartford.
