June 4 at 7pm
Birdland Theater
Join award-winning, internationally acclaimed cabaret power houses Mark Nadler and Marta Sanders for an evening of entertainment with a capital E! He plays the piano, sings and tap dances. She blows the roof off the place with her powerful voice. And both of them take the audience an emotional ride from belly laughs to tears to cheers!
Mark Nadler is the recipient of eight awards from the Manhattan Association of Cabarets, three Backstage Bistros, two New York Nightlife Awards and two Broadway World Awards. Additionally, he was awarded two Bay Area Outer Critics’ Circle Awards. He has been a soloist with major orchestras, playing everywhere from Carnegie Hall to Philadelphia’s 14,000 seat amphitheater at The Mann Center. His most recent off-Broadway show, “I’m a Stranger Here Myself”, was honored with a New York Nightlife Award, a Drama Desk nomination and a nomination for Australia’s highest performing arts honor, the Helpmann Award.
Texan-born Marta Sanders hails from a family of singers and performers. During her peripatetic childhood, she attended high school and began taking classical voice lessons in Bogota, Colombia. After graduation, she expanded her voice studies beyond the realm of opera to the emotionally charged Spanish music around her. Upon moving to New York City, Sanders attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy to study voice with the respected Paul Gavert. Early performances quickly followed graduation. She earned her Actor’s Equity card in a production of Man of La Mancha and sang with singing groups, Jerry Morton & Somebody’s Kids and The Individuals. Sanders was invited to perform a solo show in Santo Domingo at the Manaloa Nightclub, which began a love of nightclub engagements. When she returned to New York, Sanders performed in cabaret rooms that included Reno Sweeney’s, Les Mouches, Ted Hook’s Backstage, and The Ballroom, singing an original blend of powerful Spanish ballads, hit show tunes and the work of other bright young artists. She performed in beloved cabaret showrooms that include Rainbow & Stars, Upstairs at Greene Street, Maxim’s, The Copacabana, Chateau Madrid, Eighty-Eights, Freddy’s, Sweetwater’s, Danny’s Skylight Room and Arci’s Place. More recently she has performed in the Metropolitan Room, The Triad, and The Laurie Beechman Theatre. Marta has been honored to sing at Rose Hall, Zankel Hall, and Weill Recital Hall. Marta, a past winner of both the MAC and BISTRO Awards for “Outstanding Female Vocalist.” In 2018 she won the BISTRO Award for “Consummate Cabaret Artistry.”
