Lorna Dallas: The Cabaret Files, at Chelsea Table & Stage (Site)

Christopher Denny, Piano

Musical Director Barry Kleinbort, Director

Lorna Dallas, the internationally acclaimed chanteuse and actress, re-entered to the world of cabaret in 2016, after a lamentable twenty year absence. Her reappearance on the scene was met enthusiastically on both sides of the Atlantic. Since then, a variety of shows have ensued, winning Ms Dallas a new coterie of adoring fans, along with a 2020 Back Stage Bistro Award for Continued Consummate Artistry. Since Spring is considered a time for renewal, it’s also known to be a time for reflection. In her latest cabaret offering, “The Cabaret Files,” Lorna Dallas does just that. She revisits musical moments she essayed during those ten years following her return, some of which haven’t been performed in a club since 2016, while also introducing a handful of selections that were arranged for her over the years by her ace production team, musical director Christopher Denny and director Barry Kleinbort, but, for one reason or another, never made the final cut. “The Cabaret Files” is guaranteed to be a pleasurable reunion, including imaginatively arranged gems by Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Jerry Herman, James Taylor, and, a favorite of Ms Dallas’, the British composer, Ivor Novello.
