SHOWS: An Evening at the Carlyle and Sessions

No, it's not a hotel. It's a delightful little musical revue called "An Evening at the Carlyle" now playing at The Algonquin Theatre. And no, it's not at the Alongquin Hotel either. It's at a small new lovely off Broadway theater called the Algonquin Theater which is located on 24th Street, between Lexington and Park Avenue. http://www.algonquintheater.org/ It's a brand new theater and it's worthwhile checking out their productions. Another open ended show that is worthwhile seeing in called "Sessions. The talented Al Tapper has written the music and lyrics for both of these shows.
The Algonquin Theatre hosts Sessions. Al Tapper's new musical tells the story of a prominent New York therapist, and his bizarre assortment of patients, ranging from a rich kid obsessed with Bob Dylan to a depressed billionaire. Deftly blending comedy and drama, the show features a number of catchy tunes. MORE ABOUT AL TAPPER in my next blog.

An Evening at the Carlyle Algonquin http://aneveningatthecarlyle.com/
A musical entertainment featuring a talented young cast and a bright, original score commenting on current events, celebrities and life and love in the Big Apple, An Evening at the Carlyle will transport you 40 blocks north to the swankiest “mecca northeast of Tribeca," Bemelmans Bar in the Hotel Carlyle. "Come to Bemelmans Bar, where everybody knows your name....and your income."


During an evening at the Carlyle Hotel's famed Bemelmans Bar, veteran bartender Tommy encounters an eclectic, humorous and occasionally infuriating variety of New Yorkers; neurotic barflies, frustrated renters, Sondheim haters and Sinatra fanatics, ex-con executives, thwarted lovers, and even a surprise celebrity or two.
