These Are A Few of My Favorite Themes
A cabaret by Natalie Cordone
Musical Direction by Chris Leavy
Winter Park Playhouse, Winter Park FL</strong>
Natalie Cordoned returns for her fourth cabaret at Winter Park Playhouse in a colorful summer dress with a basket of popular show tunes. She’s the most popular (or most available) singer in this great little series, and tonight she aims for the easy-to-like tunes from movies like “Nine to Five” and “Wizard of Oz” as well as the big musicals including “Gypsy” and “My Fair Lady”. She even tosses out an impressive aria from “La Bohème,” I didn’t catch the title but it stopped the show. Audience sing-along was occasionally encouraged, but I kept my mouth shut for fear of scaring off any new customers. There was an Audrey Hepburn thread, “I Wish I was In Love Again” from “Sabrina” and “Moon River” from “Breakfast at Tiffanies” were crowd favorites. Behind her we had Chris Leavy on piano, and off on the side was a small film crew recoding the action. The show was intimate, the drinks were stiff, and we were out before the rains came.
