Singer-songwriter Martha Wainwright performs a legendary New York legacy with the world premiere Martha Wainwright Sings Laura Nyro: a fresh interpretation to the astonishing songwriting of a voice lost far too early, in an evening equally engaging for Nyro aficionados and neophytes alike.
Wainwright has been celebrated for her “piercingly honest” (The Guardian) writing, her “firey confidence…[and] twist of poetic attitude” (BBC), and her “versatile voice that moves fluidly from intimate exhalations… to angry exhortations… to florid cascades” (Pitchfork). Nyro, the “phenomenal singers’ singer” whose devotees included Elton John, Barbra Streisand, 5th Dimension, Three Dog Night, Alice Cooper, Blood, Sweat, and Tears, Stephen Sondheim, and Patti LaBelle was likewise celebrated for her “soaring, open-hearted voice and ingeniously-crafted compositions” (The Guardian).
With Thomas Bartlett and Doug Wieselman
Produced by Karen Brooks Hopkins and Carol Polakoff
