Mary-Catherine Pazzano “Leonard Bernstein at 100” – The Registry Theatre on Feb 9
Mary Catherine Pazzano – “Leonard Bernstein at 100.” MC who developed the program herself had the right vocal prowess and sultry stage presence to carry this off. She did an incredible job, not just singing Bernstein’s acclaimed repertoire like songs from “West Side Story” but teaching the audience about this renowned composer, and conductor telling the backstories behind some of Bernstein’s lesser-known stage and screen works like “On The Town.” Jason Hunter’s sax and Ben Bolt Martin’s cello solos were the icing on the centennial cake.
