"On January 26, O'Hara will perform a solo concert as part of Lincoln Center's American Songbook series -- and it promises to be a very eclectic affair. "I'm trying to have it coincide with the release of my album on Ghostlight Records -- even though I recorded it for Sony over a year ago. Harry Connick, Jr. [O'Hara's Pajama Game co-star] did all the arrangements. It's very mellow, with a casual jazz feel to it." While O'Hara is still putting the songlist together, she has made some definite selections. "I'm going to do a couple of Harry's songs, a song written by Greg called 'The Sun Went Out,' and a song I wrote called 'Here Now," she says. "I'll definitely do some standards, perhaps something from Pajama Game, and definitely something from Ricky Ian Gordon. I may also do this arrangement of 'Fable' from The Light in the Piazza that Harry did for the album --even though Adam Guettel may hate it. It's a version of how I think Clara heard the song -- as a lullaby sung by her mother. I think it's very interesting."
