| Bistro Award winner Karen Oberlin
celebrates of one of our best-loved
lyricists, the man who brought the "Rainbow" to both Finian and "The Wizard of
Oz," along with writing many more of our most beloved standards. In the New York
Observer, Rex Reed calls the show "Thrilling," saying "Oberlin is as lovely to
look at as she is to hear. (Her singing) rings true and funny and flawless."
Stephen Holden in The New York Times says Oberlin has "...impeccable pop style
(and) musical intelligence... beautifully shaped readings... purity, naturalness
and polished phrasing, with a jazzy spontaneity. In her show... she skillfully
balances the two sides of Harburg’s sensibility." |

Two of New York’s most acclaimed
vocalists combine their gorgeous voices in their highly anticipated new show.
These two longtime mutual admirers finally revel in the luxury of their
thrillingly matched voices. Both accomplished actors and singers, they draw on
their successes in different arenas, Oberlin (jazz) and Phillips
(theatre), and join forces on common ground in which they both have enjoyed
great success (cabaret). Songs included represent the Great American Songbook in
all its glory, from Broadway to bebop and back. |

LIKE LOVE: The Popular Music of André Previn

Bistro Award-winning jazz-pop singer Karen Oberlin graces the
New York Sheet Music Society for one afternoon only with her
highly acclaimed show, “Like Love: The Popular Songs of Andre
Previn,” for which she was a finalist for the critics’
Nightlife Awards in 2007. You'll be delighted and surprised by
this varied collection of extraordinary songs –- some beloved,
some virtually unknown, by a master composer who defies
category. Lyricists Johnny Mercer, Alan Jay Lerner, the
Bergmans, Comden and Green, Dory Langdon (Previn), and others,
joined Andre Previn to create the stuff of a show rich with
complex emotions, substance, and delicious wit.
