Alice Frazier's new dates are Thursday, June 5 @ 7pm & Friday, June 13 @ 7pm
at The Laurie Beechman Theater (check our free show calendar for more info)
Alice Frazier is pure delight! If you don’t get to see her current show, “Broadway Without Boundaries,” at Helen’s on Thursday, May 17th at 7pm, you’ll be sorry. Have I ever lied to you? This is a cabaret show that should not be missed, especially by anyone savvy enough to log on to CabaretExchange.com. This may be your last chance this season, unless you can convince the powers that be at Helen’s, to book her back right away. She’s a superb entertainer with an amazingly beautiful voice, and she certainly captivated the crowd that came to see her on Wednesday, May 9. I’m a “house watcher,” and while I had a hard time taking my eyes off her on stage, I sure enjoyed glancing around the room at the viewers who were totally entranced by her performance.
A stunning, smartly gowned
Alice , walked on stage with the awesome Don Rebic at the grand piano, smiled her 1000-watt smile at her audience, and sang, “Who Will Buy?” Lionel Bart’s opener from Oliver,
and believe me, they bought it. And then they bought the whole show.
With her glorious voice, and the style of a Broadway actress, she
interpreted an eclectic group of Broadway songs, Sondheim’s plaintive
title song from Anyone Can Whistle, Rodgers & Hart, Irving Berlin, Frank Loesser (“My Heart is So Full of You,” from Most Happy Fella),
the Brel/Blau “Carousel” and, as if that were not enough, she thrilled
us with a brilliant “Glitter and Be Gay,” by Leonard Bernstein. Andrew
Lloyd Webber’s “Tell Me On A Sunday,” and, my favorite, Kander &
Ebb’s “Colored Lights,” helped along by Shane Matthews at the light
board.
