TOM
WOPAT KICKS OFF NEW CABARET AT THE CHASE SERIES AT NJPAC
Longtime
heartthrob Tom Wopat, will open the new "Cabaret at the Chase" series
at The Chase Room at the NEW JERSEY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER (One Center
Street, Newark, NJ - 888-466-5722 - http://www.njpac.org)
on Saturday, October 12th at 7:30 pm. Tom is accompanied by a trio,
with Ted Firth on piano, Don Kasper on bass and Peter Grant on drums.
Tickets are $36.
Mr. Wopat has had a long
and varied career. He is best known for his work on television as
Luke Duke on the hit series "The Dukes of Hazard," and on the successful
"Cybill" and "Home Improvement" series. On Broadway, he played the
Tony-nominated role of Frank Butler in the Broadway production of
"Annie Get Your Gun," is a veteran of "Guys and Dolls" and "City of
Angels," and is currently playing the gruff and demonstrative Broadway
director Julian Marsh in the Tony Award-winning revival of "42nd Street."
Off Broadway, he recently portrayed the Fire Captain in Ann Nelson's
two-character play about 9/11, "The Guys," opposite Amy Irving.
In recent years he has
reinvented himself as a first-rate crooner. Last year he performed
a very well received solo show at Arci's Place in New York City. His
NJPAC performance will include songs from his debut album, "The Still
of the Night," on Angel Records. Tom reworks some of the greatest
songwriters' compositions about the mysteries of love, longing, passion
and loss. Among the composers represented include works by Harold
Arlen, Hoagy Carmichael, Frank Loesser, Cole Porter and Stephen Sondheim.
NJPAC's "Cabaret at the
Chase" recreates the intimate setting of a cabaret with bistro-style
table seating as well as a cash bar and other refreshments available
for purchase. "Cabaret at the Chase" is made possible through the
generosity of the Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation.
