SIMEONE
SINGS MATHIS AT EAGLES DARE
2004
MAC Award-winning vocal phenomenon Marcus Simeone returns to New York's
small stages in a special one-show-only appearance, entitled "MATHIS:
A Tribute to the Legendary Johnny Mathis," at EAGLES DARE THEATRE
(347 West 36th Street, NYC - 212-858-4444 - http://www.smarttix.com/)
on Saturday, September 25th. He will be accompanied by musical director
Michael Sansonia, and joined by guest vocalist Eva Ladas. Show time
is 4:30 pm and there will be a wine and cheese reception following
the performance.Tickets are $25 at the door, $20 in advance.
In this show, Marcus' first tribute of any kind, he covers not only
one of the great influences on his own work, but one of the most enduring
concert and recording artists of all time. "Answer Me," "Wonderful,
Wonderful," "Misty," "There Goes My Heart," "It's Not For Me To Say,"
and "Chances Are" are among the towering hits which Johnny Mathis
has enjoyed over more than five decades as a chart-topping icon. Marcus
will bring his own special magic to the songs Johnny made famous,
as well as offer a personal homage to the man for whom Columbia Records
pioneered the "greatest hits" album, now an industry tradition. Johnny
Mathis, who began his career on small stages in San Francisco and
New York, continues to sell out Radio City Music Hall and still holds
the record for continuous weeks (490) of being on the Billboard Top
Albums Chart.
Since his sensational cabaret debut in January of 2000, Marcus has
emerged as one of the most celebrated singers to grace the stages
of Manhattan's nightclubs since the days of Streisand and the Bon
Soir. Winner of the 2003 Bistro Award, and 2004 MAC Award, he is universally
regarded for his heart-wrenching interpretations of ballads, red-hot
jazz sensibility, and powerful pop flair. Earlier in his career, this
native of Brooklyn appeared on the original Star Search as well as
Showtime at The Apollo.
