Diana Sheehan sings the songs of Lorenz Hart
Diana Sheehan is one of our finest musical actresses, and she puts the emphasis on musical this week with the return of her award-winning cabaret show, where she sings lyrics written by legendary gay songwriter Lorenz Hart. The music itself is by Richard Rodgers,
so not a bad duo. But Sheehan makes each number her own. That’s where the acting comes in.

Sept. 12–15.
Thursday–Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 2 p.m. $20–$25.
