Musical Direction by Alex Rybeck. Michael Goetz, bass; Dan Gross, percussion; Marc Phaneuf, woodwinds “Ms. Berk made you feel about New York the same way a Cole Porter song makes you feel about Paris.” Stephen Holden, The New York Times “Charm, sophistication, good taste and a titanic talent are all rare gifts in cabaret…Ms. Berk displays them all, setting the bar very high indeed for every girl singer who follows…Intimate, exquisite, understated, her facial expressions are as exciting to watch as her lyrics are to hear…Where has she been all my life?” Rex Reed, New York Observer “Celia Berk raises the tone of any club in which she appears, always creating an oasis of class. Her shows are elegant, smart, skillfully constructed, and meticulously performed.” Alix Cohen, BroadwayWorld.com “In an era in which the big voice and the big belt holds sway, it’s a treat to hear a singer approach a song with an artistic sensibility that honors both the music and the lyrics. In the latter regard it’s very clear that Berk has thought about the lyric and she knows what she’s singing about from the inside out. Berk proves you don’t have to shout to be truly heard.” Marilyn Lester, Theatre Pizzazz

Wednesday, September 14th @ 7pm
Thursday, October 20th @ 9:30 pm (after Cabaret Convention)
Monday, November 21st @ 7pm Randy Newman, as a songwriter, is an impassioned social realist in the same vein as (or school of) Yip Harburg mixed with Lorenz Hart… Someone who recognizes the power of songs, with lyrics that can remind us of injustice, the sting of loss and how unkind people can be… And yet in that salad of cruelty Newman tosses large amounts of love, joy and delicious humor. Karen Oberlin, joined by her superb team of Tedd Firth as musical director and pianist and Steve Doyle on bass, explores the many facets of this heartbreaking and hilarious songbook, all at the Metropolitan Room in NYC.
