Pearl Bailey … by Request

Tonight @ The Milwaukee Repertory Theater, 7:30 p.m.

By Shepherd Express Staff
 
Richard Nixon once appointed singer and actress Pearl Bailey, a Broadway staple, America’s “Ambassador of Love.” Though Bailey’s roots were in vaudeville, she was most famous for her roles in productions like Hello, Dolly! and St. Louis Woman, as well as her hit 1952 version of “Takes Two to Tango.” In the Milwaukee Rep’s latest cabaret show, Washington, D.C.-based performer Roz White, who co-wrote the show, pays homage to the late performer. White has a smooth voice that complement’s the show’s jazzy repertoire.
