Tyne Daly - "Songs"
Rrazz Room, Hotel Nikko
January 12

TYNE DALY -- YES, FROM TV'S "CAGNEY & LACY" -- OPENED HER SINGING ENGAGEMENT LAST EVENING AT THE RRAZZ ROOM IN THE HOTEL NIKKO TO A PACKED HOUSE AND A WELCOMING STANDING OVATION. 

BACKED BY AN EXCELLENT TRIO OF PIANO, BASS AND DRUMS -- HEADED BY HER TALENTED PIANIST/MUSICAL DIRECTOR JOHN McDANIEL, MISS DALY SANG A WONDERFULLY CHOSEN SET OF MUSICAL GEMS OPENING WITH "SOME PEOPLE" FROM "GYPSY", THE SHOW THAT EARNED HER A TONY AWARD. 

THERE WERE OTHER SHOW TUNES, SOME POP CLASSICS, SOME SPECIAL MATERIAL AND A FEW SONGS THAT I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE.  SHE ABSOLUTELY WOWED THE AUDIENCE WITH A MAGNIFICENT, RELAXED DELIVERY, A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND WITH A FABULOUS STAGE PRESENCE AND, ADD TO THAT, A TERRIFIC SENSE OF HUMOR. 

THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS I'VE EVER SEEN AT THE RRAZZ ROOM.  IT EARNED HER ANOTHER TWO STANDING OVATIONS.  MY SUGGESTION TO YOU IS TO MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS ASAP TO SEE ONE OF THE FINEST PERFORMERS IN THE BUSINESS, TYNE DALY, NOW APPEARING AT THE RRAZZ ROOM IN THE HOTEL NIKKO THRU THIS SUNDAY, JANUARY 17TH.  THIS IS CABARET AT ITS VERY, VERY BEST.
