Billy Stritch returns to the Purple Room for a new show spotlighting the music of legendary tunesmith Cy Coleman. Hell be joined this time by a swinging jazz trio – all the better to perfectly celebrate one of Broadway and pop musics jazziest composers. The show will include Cys biggest pop hits (The Best Is Yet To Come, Witchcraft), songs from his Broadway shows (Sweet Charity, City Of Angels) and many undiscovered and unknown gems.
Cy Coleman was the composer of a dozen Broadway scores and a multitude of stand-alone pop songs in addition to being a world-class jazz pianist.
