Jeffrey Wright Brings THE DANCE Back to the Kranzberg for Encore Performance on 4/16

Do you dance? Have you ever danced around? A decision? With a lover, around an issue or a job? When it comes time to pay the band, is the dancing always done?

In this show, Jeff dances with you and around you, and for seventy-five minutes he won't let you go. With songs from Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz, Sammy Cahn, James Taylor, Jule Styne, Craig Carnelia, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Elton John.

With leading man written all over him, Jeff Wright returns to the Kranzberg with his show The Dance. (When it comes time to pay the band, is the dancing always done?) Following a sold out weekend earlier this year, Jeff returns to The Kranzberg with his latest show.

"Singer Jeff Wright is music's contemporary 'matinee idol.' He is heart, voice and looks. Once Mr. Wright asks you to dance (even if you have two left feet)... you will be floating on air."
-Lina Koutrakos, singer/songwriter

"Do yourself a favor - go see and hear Jeffrey M. Wright. He's the kind of singer songwriters pray for and audiences go wild for. Easy on the eyes and the ears, he sings with honesty and soul, and always delivers the goods."
-Alex Rybeck, arranger/pianist

"...I'm impressed with the confidence and sincerity he projects on stage...
-Chris Gibson, Cabaret Scenes magazine
