An Evening with Roger Schmelzer
About this event
Roger Schmelzer leans into the American Songbook to deliver an upbeat message of hope and kindness. Directed by the legendary Marilyn Maye, he brings fresh interpretations of timeless standards to create a warm and intimate evening.
His critically acclaimed NYC solo debut in 2017 at the Metropolitan Room led to an appearance at Carnegie Hall and performances around the U.S. and a 2022 BroadwayWorld nomination for Best Cabaret/Solo Performance.
Roger’s CD, "About Now" was described by public radio as "Chock-full of the sorts of clever lyrics and lush arrangements that characterize songs for intimate settings from the last century to today."
Musical Director is Jeffrey Harris, who accompanies Ms. Maye, and also has music directed for Jack Jones, Maureen McGovern and Lea Salonga
