A Historic First: Anita Gillette and Lee Roy Reams Together on Stage—A Pictorial Essay

It was also Reams debut at the club, although he’s performed many cabaret acts in other venues. Both dressed in rousing red, the leading lady and the song-and-dance man were accompanied by Phil Reno on piano as they reminisced and sang. Each had their turn at the mic, as well as offering duets The sum total was a cozy evening with these pals who put together a top-notch production full of show-biz pizzazz.
