Rita Lim settles into the intimate confines of Myron's Cabaret Jazz for an evening centered on the craft behind the classics. "They Wrote the Songs" turns the spotlight on the songwriters whose work shaped generations of popular music, with Lim reinterpreting tunes made famous by Barbra Streisand, The Carpenters, The Beatles, Dionne Warwick, and Bread. Expect a blend of sophisticated pop, jazz phrasing, and storytelling that traces the lineage of these songs back to the pens that created them.

Myron's itself adds to the experience, with its round tables, close sightlines, and a mezzanine balcony that keeps every seat feeling near the stage. The room's design, built for listening rather than shouting over a crowd, suits Lim's approach to these songs, which leans on nuance and vocal detail rather than spectacle. It's the kind of setting where a lyric can land quietly and still fill the space.
