Broadway veteran Brent Barrett takes the stage at Myron's Cabaret Jazz with "Sing Happy," a heartfelt tribute to the iconic songwriting partnership of John Kander and Fred Ebb. The duo behind some of Broadway's most beloved musicals—including "Cabaret," "Chicago," and "Kiss of the Spider Woman"—created a catalog of songs that blend wit, emotion, and theatricality in ways that still resonate today. Barrett's interpretation brings both polish and warmth to classics that have defined American musical theater for decades.
The intimate setting of Myron's, with its cabaret-style seating and view overlooking Symphony Park, provides the perfect backdrop for this kind of performance. Barrett's extensive Broadway credits and rich baritone voice lend authenticity to material that ranges from the exuberant to the bittersweet. Expect to hear everything from toe-tapping showstoppers to tender ballads, all delivered with the storytelling finesse that cabaret performances do best. The space allows for a connection between performer and audience that larger venues simply can't match, making this the kind of evening where the music feels like it's being shared rather than just performed.
