Some Women...

What do Gilda Radner, Madeline Kahn and Carol Burnett have in common?

In a programme of music that Janice and Patti are bringing back to Toronto for one night only, songs that were sung by Gilda, Madeline and Carol (and a handful of other women) are lovingly - and occasionally hilariously - reprised.

The singer and pianist share stories and music about women from the worlds of Musical Theatre, contemporary cabaret, television, the Great American Songbook, and Pop Music.

'Some Women' is being performed in a small venue with limited seating. Actually, it's in Patti's kitchen which, in addition to the usual appliances, features a beautiful Steinway B piano. (See photo.) The home is in the Beaches neighbourhood in Toronto and is the location of the long-running Jazz in the Kitchen concert series. There is plenty of free, street parking, and it is easily accessible by TTC.

Please feel free to bring a bottle of whatever you would like to drink with you to the event - we'll provide glasses! - and stay after the show to mix, mingle, share stories with Janice and Patti.

Admission is limited, and tickets MUST be purchased in advance.

Doors open at 7:30, shows at 8:00.

WHAT DO OUR AUDIENCES HAVE TO SAY?

"As an admirer and supporter of strong women, Patti and Janice rocked it! I also love Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hammerstein so there's that, too. These two warrior women not only put a whole lot of energy into this show, they did a ton of really interesting research. It was fascinating, and grabbed you right from the get go."
- Richard Harrop, Toronto

"While the themes and the musical selections pay homage to many iconic women in show business think Carol Burnett & Gilda Radner the show certainly appeals equally to both women and men. The variety of musical selections from jazz standards to musical theatre were masterfully performed by Janice and Patti. The dialogue that wove together the various songs was both informative and delivered with healthy doses of humour and wit that reminded me of the play Two Pianos Four Hands."
- Rob Mee, Toronto

"Lethal duo. Beauty. Brains. A lifetime of expertise. And wit to spare. Patti Loach, pianist, plays in all gears! Janice Hawke possesses vocal dexterity and a voice that you want to keep hearing. Brava! Three encores. Two standing ovations."
- Lynn McDonald, presenter, Lynn McDonald Presents concert series, Port Perry.
