CLAUDIA BEECHMAN IN MICHEL LEGRAND TRIBUTE AT ODETTE'S

Chanteuse Claudia Beechman will debut her new show "The Grand Legrand" at THE CABARET at Odette's (South River Road, New Hope, PA - 215-862-3000 - http://www.odettes.com/) on Friday & Saturday, May 31st & June 1st. Both shows are at 8:00 pm.

Accompanying Claudia will be Tom Baust, who arranged all the music for the show and serves as musical director. Several songs will feature additional accompaniment on cello by Nancy Stokking. Mr. Baust, who also sings during the show, is a bass who sings regularly with the Opera Company of Philadelphia and the Philly Pops with Peter Nero. Ms. Stokking is member of the Mullica String Quartet.

The show is a tribute to the French composer Michel Legrand, featuring songs from "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg," "Lady Sings the Blues," "The Thomas Crown Affair," and a variety of other music from Legrand's prolific career. The show, which is "mostly in English," marks a departure for Ms. Beechman, who usually sings mostly in French.

Ms. Beechman, sister of the late Broadway star Laurie Beechman, recorded with her sister on Laurie's last CD, "No One Is Alone," and has released her own CD, "Souvenirs de Paris." This is Claudia's fifth appearance at Odette's.
