Two-time Tony winner Christine Ebersole is returning to the Café Carlyle for her third engagement. The diva will play the venue beginning on February 3 with Scott Wittman directing. Ebersole will perform a new program, which she calls “an eclectic musical evening on the subjects of sex, politics, religion… and weather.” Musical director John Oddo and a quartet will accompany the star.
Ebersole won a 2007 Best Actress Tony for her dual roles as Edith and Little Edie Beale in the musical Grey Gardens. She also won a 2001 Tony for playing Dorothy Brock in the Broadway revival of 42nd Street and received a 2003 Tony nomination for Dinner at Eight. Her other Broadway credits include Blithe Spirit, Steel Magnolias, The Best Man, Getting Away with Murder, Camelot and Oklahoma! She will receive the 2010 Nightlife Award for “Outstanding Cabaret Vocalist in a Major Engagement” for her 2009 Café Carlyle engagement at the 8th Annual Nightlife Awards ceremony to be held at Town Hall on January 25.
Ebersole will play Café Carlyle through February 20.
