White's Lies

A light romp on West 50th Street at the New World Stages with a delightful cast.   It's a bit like a skit on the Tonight Show - a wink and a nod - but delightful nonetheless.  Betty Buckley and Peter Scolari headline the ensemble.   Check it out.  The cast alone is well worth the off-Broadway ticket price.  New favorite funny boy - Jimmy Ray Bennett.

Betty Buckley and her Jazz Quartet

The legendary Betty Buckley, or Miss Betty Lynn, as she is affectionately known by her of fans, gathered up her Jazz Quartet - Clifford Carter (Keyboards), Billy Drews (Sax), Tony Marino (Bass), and Anthony Pinciotti (Drums) and spent 5 nights at Birdland on West 44th dazzling and mesmerizing all those who flocked to see her.   

An important warning to all those show tune crazy fans out there - she warns right at the outset - NO SHOW TUNES!  (fear not, she'll be packing them in at Feinstein's at the Regency in February with an all-show-tunes review!).

The songs were varied - melodic, jazzy, sultry, strong, and a little rock and roll thrown in.  She's got a range like no other.   Don't worry - she'll be back.  And if you can't wait to see her, check out her new CD - Quintessence
