JULIE BENKOCurrent Star of RAGTIME: The Hottest Ticket on Broadway this Spring!Premiering her new show: Euphonic GumboHow did a nice Jewish girl from Connecticut end up steeped in the sounds of New Orleans? Simple: I visited... and fell madly in love. The music, the spirit, the ghosts, and the joy all pulled me deeper down the rabbit hole.Euphonic Gumbo is my love letter to the Crescent City. We stirred in a little of everything: the syncopated strut of early jazz, the spice of a Cajun fiddle, the echo of folk ballads, Jelly Roll Morton's "Spanish tinge," and, of course, nods to the great piano "professors" famous for making the ivories dance. It's music that honors both life and death, mischief and memory, Disney dreams and Longfellow laments.Back by Popular Demand!Get ready tolaissez les bons temps rouleras Broadway and cabaret starJulie Benko(Funny Girl, Harmony, Ragtime) makes her triumphant return toFeinstein's at the Nikkoafter last year's sold-out engagement!
