Ben Vereen
“Ben Vereen’s performance at The Town Hall on February 18th was a lesson in performance energy…..a tour de force ….Without a single synthesizer, with no voice tuner, with only an acoustic band, Vereen displayed shocking innovation.”… “He flirted with off notes and inventive runs during classics such as "My Funny Valentine." This is always a dangerous idea, because it risks alientating the audience who wants to hear the melody of a familiar tune, but Vereen not only pulled it off, he left the audience wanting him to do more…The lasting impression was of a man who loves life, wants you to love life, and has mastered both his medium and his message. At age 65, he is the youngest man performing today. ”— The Newark Examiner
