Bistro Awards Review

By Roy Sander

“Taking Chances” The Duplex, NYC – July 18, 20, 2010

“In her recent engagement at The Duplex, actress/singer Marjorie Hayes proved herself to be an artist of considerable depth and subtlety, with a voice capable of giving color to a wide range of life’s experiences….

“Hayes’s theatrical acumen was evident throughout the evening. (She has an impressive body of international theatre accomplishments to her credit.) Her connection with her material was organic, and her presentation was assured, confident, and never dramatically or emotionally overstated. Her artistry had a cumulative impact, so perhaps only at the end of the evening was one fully aware of the richness of her artistic palette and the control with which she employed it……

“She delivered a distinctive and distinguished rendition of “Bill” …in a sense it was straightforward, but running through it was a stream of heartfelt sentiment that gave the piece a warm glow. It was an object lesson in how a singer can put his stamp on a song without resorting to gimmicks or eccentric arrangements. This was only the second rendition of “Bill” that I can recall that achieved what I refer to as the “aaah! quality.”

She did superb work with two songs by Leonard Cohen. “Blue Alert” is an extraordinary piece that uses military combat as a metaphor for the effect a woman can have on a man. I’d say that her performance was understated, but, it would be more accurate to say that it was beautifully stated. Her rendition of “Hallelujah” was quite possibly the best I’ve ever heard; it was certainly the most emotionally textured and one of the very few in which I thought the singer had a clue what the song is about. ”…….

Marjorie Hayes in Taking Chances, The Duplex, NYC, July 20, 2010

 

“…she reeled me in and I was hooked……

“Miss Hayes truly shines with theatrical songs that let her fully inhabit specific characters. Billy Elliot’s “Grandma’s Song,” complete with appropriate accent, was thus a major winner. Another accent (Russian, and broad like the humor of the song) was employed for “Vodka.” Cheers!

Come Join Us in LA and NYC!

Taking Chances

 

Based in Dallas, this international artist makes her LA/NYC cabaret debut with an eclectic mix of spirited and potent songs that celebrate the “bits of beauty everywhere” (Leonard Cohen).   Her earthy voice gives heart to ballads, rock, blues, and her favorite story songs. As an actress, she has worked Off-Broadway, in regional theatres, and film. The UNT professor performed her solo concert “Song Stories From Home” at the Non-Stop Festival in Poland.  She was a lead soloist in “Story Songs” for Imagination Celebration directed by Tony-award winner Betty Buckley.  Last summer she sang at the International Cabaret Conference at Yale.  Musical Director and co-creator Michele Brourman.  Erv Raible directs.

Legendary Broadway star and Tony Award winner BETTY BUCKLEY affirms“Marjorie Hayes is a one of a kind actress/singer evoking shades of Lotte Lenya. She is a powerful & subtle dramatic actress and wonderful singer.“

“A dynamic performer” says Tony nominee and cabaret favorite SHARON McNIGHT.

Hayes’ singing storytelling had Polish  reviewers stating “lyrical and expressive” and “5 stars out of 5.”

“Hayes’ hilarious interpretation of Sondheim’s “The Ladies Who Lunch” … made us, temporarily at least, forget Elaine Stritch. That’s some feat,” THEATREJONES.COM says.
