Those
are excerpts from reviews of Derrick Cobey, the stellar Broadway singer who
will be featured in the cabaret production of What Is This Thing Called Love?, the next Rendezvous fund-raiser
for The Musical Theater Project (TMTP).
On
September 9, Cobey will perform a tribute to Cole Porter at the Music Box
Supper Club. Proceeds will support TMTP’s arts education programs including
their school outreach program Kids Love
Musicals!
Cobey,
one of the finest young singers of his generation, is a winner of the Barrymore
Award and was in the original cast of The
Scottsboro Boys on Broadway. And he has a local connection, since he is an
alumnus of Baldwin-Wallace University’s outstanding Music Theatre Department.
Tickets
to this show are $135 each, including dinner, with $65 tax deductible. You can
also purchase a $500 subscription for the entire Rendezvous four-cabaret series
($250 tax deductible).
Founded in 2000, TMTP produces concerts, in-school residency programs,
radio programming and recordings that create personal connections with the
songs, characters and themes of the American musical and examine the relevance
of musical theater in contemporary society.
