Kidwell explores the sumptuous world of the femme fatale and discovers which parts of the character are her and which are simply delightful to play with.

The music includes songs by: Cole Porter, Frank Loesser, Carole King, Richard Rodgers, Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Jule Styne, Bob Dylan, Seymour Simons, Arthur Freed, Harold Arlen, Dolly Parton and more.
