November 08, 2008 - Widely considered to be one of the top cabaret venues in the country, The Colony’s Royal Room has scheduled another audience-pleasing line-up of performers. Tony DeSare with Bucky Pizzarelli will perform on November 14 – 15.
The Colony Hotel – which The Palm Beach Post has hailed as “probably the best cabaret on the planet” – plans another sizzling, song-filled season at the hotel’s celebrated Royal Room, featuring some really hot headliners straight from Manhattan’s most sophisticated nightspots and Broadway – including, in fact, a Royal Room regular who was a 2008 Tony Award nominee.
“I can guarantee the quality of these performers because I personally reviewed each one,” promises Roger Everingham, general manager of Palm Beach’s favorite boutique hotel, which has repeatedly earned the highly coveted “4-Diamond Rating,” from AAA.
Coming to The Colony directly from New York’s Carlyle Hotel is swinging singer/pianists Tony DeSare, an elegant, young crowd-pleaser whose singing style ranges from dreamy pop standards to boogie-woogie and R&B. Appearing with DeSare at The Colony will be the great jazz guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli.
Reviews of Tony DeSare include The New York Times: “A lean baby Sinatra with burning brown eyes and flashing teeth…his sly performance establishes the kind of connection to a younger generation that has helped make Michael Bublé a heartthrob among upscale women in their teens and early 20s…his intonation and enunciation are impeccable.” USA Today reported, “DeSare belongs to a group of neo-traditional upstarts stretching from Harry Connick, Jr. to Michael Bublé and Jamie Cullum. But this singer/songwriter/pianist's approach is refreshingly instinctual, blending Connick's smooth virtuosity with a rugged, relaxed quality… DeSare covers old and newer pop and jazz standards without smothering or over-thinking the material. And on a few classic-style originals, he exhibits a similarly breezy charm as a tunesmith.”
During the Fall cabaret season each of the cabaret performers will do an 8 p.m. show on Friday and Saturday -- except for The Four Freshmen, which will perform Wednesday through Saturday, December 17-20.
During January through April 2009, the 8 p.m. shows will run Tuesday through Saturday, with a 10 p.m. late show on Friday and Saturday – except for Jack Jones (February 24 – March 7) who is not scheduled to perform any late shows.
For all Royal Room evening performances, the doors open at 6:45 p.m. for dinner and the show starts around 8. To make reservations, call the hotel box-office at 561.659.8100 or send an email to robrussell ( @ ) thecolonypalmbeach dot com
