New York’s Beach Café (1326 2nd Avenue, corner of 70th Street) will host The Dawn Derow Birthday Party Show on Saturday, November 24 at 9:30 pm. (Dinner seating is at 8:00 pm.) Directed by Lina Koutrakos and featuring Music Director Mark Janas on piano and Sean Harkness on guitar, the show will offer an eclectic mix of songs, including favorites from Legit and her 2011-2014 show with Harkness, Music 4 Two. Helping Dawn celebrate her birthday will be special guest vocalists, including multiple award-winning cabaret performer Celia Berk, MAC Award-nominee and concert performer Suzanne Fiore and Jason Reiff, who has starred as “Marius” in the national tour of Les Misérables.
As a special treat for the Beach Café audience, Dawn will also show off her baking skills (she runs a company called Pie Theory by Dawn—www.pietheorybydawn.com) by offering a variety of fruity seasonal pies as her way of saying “Thank You” for helping celebrate her birthday.
After years performing all over the world in operas, classical concerts, musicals, and on cruise ships, Derow began her career in the New York cabaret scene in 2007. Staging shows focused on Great American Songbook standards, pop classics and her own original songs, the Boston Conservatory graduate earned a 2015 MAC Award for “Best Revue” for Revolution, a 2016 Bistro Award as “Outstanding Vocalist” and a 2018 MAC Award as “Best Female Vocalist.”
