Michael Feinstein

Celebrating 50 years of personal and professional partnership in the lives of lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman, Michael Feinstein’s new show at the Regency is a musical bonanza indeed. Each night features a special guest star. I was lucky enough to see the divine Mary Cleere Haran, who crooned “So Many Stars” with a sublime Brazilian bossa nova beat that could sink your heart. You never know whom you’ll hear. One night it’s Christine Ebersole. The next night it’s Marvin Hamlisch.  read more »

Michael Feinstein, the pianist and helmer of lounge club Feinstein's at Loews Regency, is opening another cabaret space at the Shaw Theater in London. Feinstein’s at the Shaw will open Jan. 6 with a performance by Mr. Feinstein himself called “An American in London."

On his Web site, he wrote: “The vision for the Shaw will be similar to its New York counterpart and will present many of the multigenerational artists who are best appreciated in a more intimate theatrical setting, but it will also have a more Eurocentric flavor. We plan to present a Songwriters’ series, a Legends series and evenings of special tributes that will run the gamut of all different types of good music.” The theater is part of the Novotel London St. Pancras Hotel on Euston Road, next to the British Library and the St. Pancras train station.
