Australian vocalist Robert Green makes his NYC solo cabaret debut in Isn’t It Romantic! on Friday, May 23 at Don’t Tell Mama at 7 PM. Musical d is David Gaines at the piano, direction by Barry Kleinbort
Isn’t It Romantic! is a tribute to Lorenz Hart, one of the 20th century’s great lyricists. Hugely prolific, Hart’s songs endure because they speak to the human condition. Hart’s often bittersweet lyrics, born of his own experience, continue to strike a chord, and his humor and ingenious rhymes still make us laugh.
While Hart’s work endures, the story of his life is not so well known. We all know what happened when Harry met Sally, but what happened when Larry met Dick? How did they become Rodgers and Hart? This tender, light-hearted tribute to Lorenz Hart, the lyricist in this great songwriting partnership with Richard Rodgers, features the songs “My Funny Valentine,” “Blue Moon,” “The Lady Is a Tramp,” and more!
Born in Sydney, Green has performed in many of that city’s leading cabaret rooms, including El Rocco, Villa Caprese, the Side On Café, Café de Lane and Pastel’s Coffee Palace. Green’s show Let’s Do It—a salute to two of his specialties, Noël Coward and Cole Porter—played the 2000 Adelaide Fringe Festival. Green has also acted, notably in the Genesian Theatre’s 2011 production of The Fantasticks.
