Andrea Marcovicci returns to Tilles Center

The popular “torch singer” Andrea Marcovicci returns to Tilles Center for two performances on Saturday, May 22, at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m., in Hillwood Recital Hall. She performs an all-new program “Skylark: Marcovicci Sings Mercer.” Commissioned by the Savannah Music Festival for the centennial celebration of their native son, lyricist Johnny Mercer, the show went on to the Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel where critics called it “scintillating” and “a must-see.”

Marcovicci has been hailed as the “most Sinatra-like” of the new generation of cabaret performers by critics. She “has the capacity to caress a song with a warming embrace…Marcovicci steals the heart …the epitome of elegance and showbiz savvy,” declared Variety, while Stephen Holden writes in The New York Times, “Andrea Marcovicci has an incandescent enthusiasm and a masterly balance between poignancy and wit.” Tickets are $50 for the 7: 30 p.m. show and $40 for the 9:30 p.m. performance; available at (516) 299-3100 or (800) 745-3000 or www.tickemaster.com.
