Mary Cleere Haran brings here new show, "Mary Cleere Haran Sings Doris Day" to The Rrazz Room, Hotel Nikko, 222 Mason, SF, July 14-19. Tickets are $30-$45 and can be purchased at www.therrazzroom.com or directly through www.ticketweb.com or 866 468 3399. Shows are at 8 PM Tuesday thru Saturday and at 7 PM on Sunday.
The show celebrates the movies and music of the biggest female box office attraction in Hollywood history. Today, Doris Day is famously private and refuses to speak about her remarkable career, but Mary is one of the few people to have interviewed her. She wrote and produced the highly acclaimed PBS documentary, 'Doris Day: A Sentimental Journey.' She said that people tend to associate Doris Day with her later sex comedy movies and forget that she was a great singer and star. Mary will be performing songs from Day's films and albums.
Mary Cleere Haran, one of the most renowned singers of The Great American Songbook, has garnered rave reviews from audiences and critics alike for her witty, sophisticated performances. It was Haran's love affair with classic movies of the 1930s and 1940s that sparked her love affair with American popular song. She cites Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee and Doris Day as primary sources of inspiration, but Hollywood's Golden Age has made an indelible impression on Haran's singing.
She also boasts an impressive list of theater credits, both on and off Broadway and is a respected writer and researcher who has brought her talents to numerous PBS specials. She has performed at some of the most prominent venues in the country, including Lincoln Center, Rainbow & Stars, The Russian Tea Room, The Plush Room and the Bellevue Hotel in Philadelphia
