"If I Knew Now..."

After 3 separate runs in NYC, Crane is bringing her highly acclaimed show on the road. In “IF I KNEW NOW . . . “ she wrestles with the difficulties of watching life get old while she remains eternally 27, “over and over and over again”. She sings songs by the wry and zany Jay Leonhart and Dave Frishberg and a pastiche of Sondheim, Mandel, Wallowitch and Loesser.

PRESS QUOTES:

"“IF I KNEW NOW . . .”
“Cynthia Crane at the top of her game: Best known in the cabaret community as a classic jazz singer, Cynthia Crane surprised us with a classic cabaret act, instead. . . . She displayed for all to see what she knows now about putting on a show – which is plenty. Performing with hard won wisdom, Crane gave her show a political slant, peppering the evening with witty songs like "Everything I Buy Was Made in China" (Clark Gesner) and the sharply observed "My Country Used to Be" (Dave Frishberg). Most stunning of all was her resurrection of a hilarious twenty year old song about global warming by Jay Leonhart called "Goodbye, Miami." Clearly Leonhart knew then what we know now. And clearly Crane was clever enough to dig it out and sing its stinging satire with a knowing wink. Artfully assembled, delivered with a lifetime's worth of craft. We hope she'll bring this show back again .”
Barbara & Scott Siegel; TalkinBroadway.com

“I was so thrilled to be listening to that smoky velvet sound that has only been available to me on her CDs for these past six years. so well constructed and so perfectly performed the hour flew by like a flash. I am sure this show will be back”
Stu Hamstra CabaretHotline online

“A petite package of charm, wit and talent, this self-described "saloon singer” is an expressive vocalist and an exquisite interpreter, reminiscent of those who bestowed an aura of elegance on the major rooms of the 'forties and 'fifties....one of the most accomplished and audience-savvy to hit the circuit in months...could be a master class for those who want to know how to craft a winning cabaret show, and is a ‘don’t miss’ for those who enjoy seeing one.”
