George Moore Cabaret Series presents Always: The Love Story of Irving Berlin

The George Moore Cabaret Series presents Always: The Love Story of Irving Berlin featuring KT Sullivan and Mark Nadler live on the UNITED stage.  

Always: The Love Story of Irving Berlin is a book musical in which Mark Nadler and KT Sullivan tell, sing and reenact one of the great American love stories. They put Irving Berlin’s music in service to the story, weaving the composer’s songs in and out of the narrative according to their emotional content, giving us the intimate story of a musical colossus. The two act evening features a zesty smorgasbord of Berlin tunes — many well known, many rarely heard. Some are performed in their totality; others are woven into evocative medleys that punctuate dramatic arcs in Berlin’s life.. This show is rich in American history as well as a deeply moving theatrical event.

Mark Nadler is an internationally acclaimed singer, pianist, tap-dancer, and comedian whose career spans Broadway, off-Broadway, cabaret, and concert halls worldwide. His off-Broadway hit I’m a Stranger Here Myself earned a Drama Desk nomination and the 2013 Nightlife Award, and he has performed at Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops Orchestra and as a soloist with symphonies across the country. A multiple MAC, Bistro, Broadway World, and Bay Area Critics’ Circle Award winner, his acclaimed one-man shows and revues, many created in partnership with KT Sullivan, span the Great American Songbook from Gershwin and Cole Porter to Irving Berlin and Sondheim. Broadway credits include Dame Edna: The Royal Tour, and he has performed across the U.S., Australia, and Europe, with a caricature among the famous faces at Sardi’s to prove it.

KT Sullivan became artistic director of The Mabel Mercer Foundation in March of 2012. She starred on Broadway in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and at Irish Rep in “Love, Noël” with Steve Ross. For over two decades she headlined in the Oak Room of the Algonquin, and now performs regularly in NYC at Birdland, Don’t Tell Mama, Pangea, and at Crazy Coqs in London. Her show “Rhyme, Women, and Song” was filmed for PBS, as well as her Sondheim Show with Jeff Harnar. She recorded six albums for DRG Records and was married for 22 years to Stephen Downey, president of the Browning Society.
