Kelli O'Hara at the Cafe Carlyle. We didn't opt for the dinner, just the early seating at 8:30. She came in at around 9, talked and sang her way into our hearts, and we (and everyone else) cheered at the end, at about 10pm. An enchanted hour of pure pleasure, the finest soprano voice in New York or anywhere else singing Sondheim, Rodgers, Styne, and Loewe. We learn about her life, her history, her training, and hear a comic song about it, see her dance a love duet with her husband Greg Naughton. The Cafe Carlyle is a classic, and Kelli O'Hara fits the place like a glove. Once upon a time, we saw Bobby Short; then there was Barbara Cook; and now Kelli O'Hara. She belongs.
