it's a bit pricey but i splurged tonight and went to feinstein's to see and hear rebecca luker. what a terrific show. very well reviewed in the new york times by stephen holden who said, in part, "...ms. luker is an ardent champion of new American theater songs, combining an introspective urban sophistication with musical-comedy chattiness that are scattered throughout her show...her lyric soprano lends a quality of robust well-being to everything she sings..." she sings some standards and a number of new songs, plus two from secret garden. all the songs were written by women. ms. luker's show play tomorrow night and all next week. well worth it. from the stage tonight ms. luker introduced susan shulman the director of secret garden (and little women) who was in the audience.

Her singing voice is so clear, high and brilliant.
About the loveliest triple threat there is.
A genteel and friendly person.

I'm sure anyone who works for Stroman digs down and finds their dancing shoes! 
At least thats the impression I got from a friend who worked on Oklahoma.

Rebecca and dancing:
"[RobertArmin] Sylvie also asks: Did you get dance training? You seem to dance very well and seem comfortable with the dancing.
[RebeccaLuker] I've gotten a little.
[RebeccaLuker] Ballet, jazz, tap.
[RebeccaLuker] Mostly Ballet though and a bit of ballroom.
[RebeccaLuker] I just learn as I go in whichever show I'm in."
