The exhibition runs through Feb. 17, 2007.
Diahann made her long awaited New York debut at Feinstein’s nightclub on
April 18, 2006 for a two-week
engagement, selling-out as soon as reservations were being taken.
The tickets sold so quickly that
the producers immediately went into negotiations to stage Diahann in her own
one-woman Broadway show, scheduled for 2007. The Feinstein’s engagement
kicks off a national tour around the country with dates forthcoming shortly.
The show, staged by award winning Larry Grossman with six Emmy wins and two
Tony nominations, and written by Stuart Ross, draws from her personal and
professional life with songs including the works of Peter Allen, Alan &
Marilyn Bergman, Harold Arlen, Cole Porter and other greats.
