Remembering Bobby Short

 

performed by Clint Holmes

written by Clint Holmes and Cecelia Joyce Johnson

directed by Larry Moss

musical direction by Jeff Neiman

 

performed at Cafe Carlyle

 

 

"Clint Holmes would seem an unlikely choice to pay tribute to Bobby Short, the New York musical institution who ruled the Café Carlyle for over three-and-a-half decades. Nonetheless, the singer's new show at the Carlyle, Remembering Bobby Short, is an unalloyed triumph. 

 

Wheras Short was a suave, seemeingly effortless performer who never seemed to break a sweat onstahe, Holmes--who has spent much of his career performing in large Las Vegas showrooms--is a human dynamo who can turn a simple ballad into a physically and emotionally strenuous workout."
