Best Jim Croce
“The Colony’s 2008-2009 Cabaret Season will be our biggest and best ever. Instead of having to fly up to New York City to see major cabaret stars at the Algonquin’s Oak Room, the Carlyle or Feinstein’s at the Regency, fans of the Great American Songbook now can enjoy many of the same extraordinary performers within the cozy confines of the Royal Room. I can guarantee the quality of these performers because I personally reviewed each one,” promises Roger Everingham, general manager of Palm Beach’s favorite boutique hotel, which has repeatedly earned the highly coveted “4-Diamond Rating,” from AAA.
Widely considered to be one of the top cabaret venues in the country, The Colony’s Royal Room has scheduled another audience-pleasing line-up of performers. Manhattan’s most sophisticated cabaret singer Steve Ross has been lavishly praised by audiences and reviewers alike for his singing style and personal élan. The show will be held on December 5th and 6th as well as December 12th and 13th.
Reviews of Steve Ross include Philip Elwood in Chronicle Jazz: "No one performing today is his equal. They just don't make 'em like this anymore." Backstage reported, “With the loss of Bobby Short, Steve Ross is the last apotheosis of the quintessential Manhattan piano man. He's a throwback to something timeless, although future generations -- having moved on -- may not see it in that regard and will never know what they've missed.” Variety said, “Suave and savvy…a staple of Manhattan's cabaret scene for more than four decades. Ross exudes great charm, sings with an appealing light baritone and plays piano with a flowery grace and assurance. Ross balances an expansive body of songs from the 1920s and '30s that reach forward into the more contemporary terrain of Jim Croce, Maury Yeston, and Stephen Sondheim.” Perhaps Cabaret Scenes said it best, “Watching Steve Ross is seeing a master rule his craft.”
During the Fall cabaret season, through December 2008, each of the cabaret performers will do an 8 p.m. show on Friday and Saturday -- except for The Four Freshmen, who will perform Wednesday through Saturday, December 17-20.
During January through April 2009, the 8 p.m. shows will run Tuesday through Saturday, with a 10 p.m. late show on Friday and Saturday – except for Jack Jones (February 24 – March 7) who is not scheduled to perform any late shows.
The Colony Hotel – which The Palm Beach Post has hailed as “probably the best cabaret on the planet” – plans another sizzling, song-filled season at the hotel’s celebrated Royal Room, featuring some really hot headliners straight from Manhattan’s most sophisticated nightspots and Broadway – including, in fact, a Royal Room regular who was a 2008 Tony Award nominee.
For all Royal Room evening performances, the doors open at 6:45 p.m. for dinner and the show starts around 8. To make reservations, call the hotel box-office at 561-659-8100 or send an email to robrussell@thecolonypalmbeach.com.
