Book tickets for Amanda McBroom 'Such Good Friends'

An Amanda McBroom show is as much theater as cabaret. The artist tells us she has an affinity for story songs, but the fact is, with a divining rod for intention, she makes anything a story song. The canniness and grace with which this occurs takes us to the human heart of lyrics. One of the few performers who can evoke tears, McBroom is also a card carrying author and purveyor of wit that makes us feel represented.

Perching on a stool or walking the stage, fixing her eyes on someone here, someone there, McBroom is accessible, attentive.  She shares. One of our best writers is also one of our best communicators- – and by the way, in fine voice. At the piano, Brourman, a singer songwriter herself, seems to breathe in concert with her collaborator. Music is rich, supportive, distinctive.
