Craig Figtree: Live at Voltaire

 
Imagine . . . If Modigliani gave Erte’s ladies a facelift, and they came to life through the tradition of bunraku puppet theatre, singing a vast repetoire of torch songs and ballads from song-writers like Coward, Porter, and Gershwin, channeled through the body and baritone of a man and you’ll only begin to understand what has captivated audiences and critics alike. Called “Elegant and eclectic, bizarre and beautiful”, Figtree’s program goes beyond the standard cabaret performance. Come see the show Gay Chicago calls “a most unusual and charming experience” and “over all too quickly”.
