Feinstein met Roslyn Kind back in his piano bar days and has performed a few songs here and there with Kind, but never a full show. This performance will be their first full-length program performed together.
"I don't think there will be any artistic experience that will surpass it in the near future," Feinstein said of the series. "Each program will be different and will evolve as we work through songs we want to sing individually and together"¦the McCallum itself is a jewel box in that there is a connection with the audience that can be lost in a larger space. Every theatre has its own energy that is a sum of its ingredients, tangible and intangible, and the McCallum is a very gratifying place for a performer to be."Â
No contemporary artist captures the essence of popular music like Michael Feinstein, "America's Ambassador of Song." A pop vocalist, composer and arranger, the Grammy-nominated Feinstein has released twenty diverse albums, sold out shows worldwide and played for three Presidents at the White House, as well as England's Queen Mother.
While he continues to be the entertainer who best embodies the richness of big band, jazz and pop music, Feinstein also moves in another dimension by infusing his current projects with modern elements that make them uniquely progressive and sophisticated. Another side of Michael Feinstein is apparent in his club, Feinstein's at the Regency, a Manhattan showcase for the greatest singers and cabaret performers.
Roslyn Kind's career is familiar to Broadway audiences, as she continues to delight them with her roles in "Three From Brooklyn" at the Helen Hayes Theater and the Off Broadway musical "Show Me Where The Good Times Are,"Â getting rave reviews. Her acting skills were also critically acclaimed in a star-studded, limited engagement Los Angeles production of "Elegies."Â
Roslyn's film roles include "I'm Going To Be Famous" and "The Underachievers."Â On television, her numerous credits number the hit NBC-TV Movie of the Week "Switched At Birth,"Â a recurring guest-starring role on the NBC comedy series "Gimme a Break,"Â a guest-starring role on the hit sit-com "The Nanny,"Â and as a featured guest on numerous shows including "Saturday Night Live,"Â "The Tonight Show,"Â "Good Morning America,"Â "The Morning Show," "Scoop with Sam & Dorothy" and much more.
It's no surprise that Roslyn's style and talent have turned her into a dynamic performer, whose polished and relaxed performance make her equally at home on stage, screen or disc. With her latest recording, "Come What May,"Â there are more surprises in store!
Don't miss this opportunity to catch Michael Feinstein & Roslyn Kind in their first full-length show together as they perform their favorite duets and solos as a part of the series, Feinstein's at the McCallum.
