About the Event
TICKETS AVAILABLE SOON!
This concert celebrates the legendary Broadway, concert and cabaret star Barbara Cook. It is a feast of vocal amazement and stellar interpretation, paying tribute to Cook with songs by Bernstein, Hammerstein II, Sondheim and more.
The show exudes warmth and buoyancy, featuring Cook’s signature songs including “’Til There Was You”, “Ice Cream” and “This Is All Very New to Me”, as well as Bernstein’s “Glitter and Be Gay” and selections from some of Sondheim’s greatest, including Follies, Merrily We Roll Along and Anyone Can Whistle.
Displaying an intelligent and sophisticated approach to the material and with a polished elegance, Shana Farr brilliantly commands the stage and leads the audience on a journey from a young ingénue to a woman full of life experience. Barbara Cook was a singer, an actress, a mother and a teacher, and Ms. Farr taps into every single one of those roles in her own personal and inspirational way.
