Maude Maggart the critically-acclaimed chanteuse hailed as bewitching by The New York Times, utterly enchanting by the New York Post and stunning by the Los Angeles Times will return to The Oak Room of The Algonquin Hotel for a six week engagement from April 1 May 10. Her new show, Speaking of Dreams, will feature John Boswell (April 1 12) and Lanny Meyers (April 15 May 10) on piano and Yair Evnine on cello and guitar. All performances are at the Oak Room (59 West 44th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues). Please call (212) 419-9331 for reservations.
Speaking of Dreams explores the different interpretations of dreams and how they manifest themselves. The program will features standards from the golden age such as Dream A Little Dream Of Me, When You Wish Upon A Star and Look To The Rainbow, as well as songs from more recent writers like Joan Baez (Speaking of Dreams), Kate Bush (A Deeper Understanding) and Paul Williams (The Rainbow Connection). The show will coincide with the release of the CD Dreamland, her collaboration with stage and television star Brent Spiner, a new concept album that mixes radio drama with musical soundtrack. Before coming to New York, Speaking of Dreams will have a special preview engagement at the Gardenia in Los Angeles on March 20 and 21.
