Anna Blair - Inside Story: Celebrating the Lyrics of Fran Landesman

Kranzberg Arts Center
St Louis, MO

See Inside Story! Anna Blair's delightful celebration of the lyrics of Fran Landesman! Anna reprises her cabaret inspired by her life-changing experience of performing with the legendary Fran Landesman in October 2008. In September 2010, Anna will travel to London to sing and record with Mrs. Landesman and her composer, Simon Wallace.

The show features Musical Director Joe Dreyer, who accompanied Anna and Fran when Cabaret St. Louis brought her in from London to the Gaslight Theater in October 2008.

Doors open at 7:00pm for cocktails. Seating begins at 7:30pm.

"A terrific show by any standard... Every song is a gem. Fran's words are really worth listening to... Perfect balance of (Anna's) singing with Joe Dreyer's piano. Her voice is pure and beautiful and you could not ask to hear the words interpreted with more thoughtfulness or feeling. Cabaret fans all over will love this show! They just don't know it yet." Gerry Kowarsky, Two On the Aisle

"My only lament was that it was over too quickly!" Mark Bretz, Two On the Aisle

"Some bright talents are appearing in the burgeoning St. Louis cabaret scene, and the lovely Anna Blair is right up there with the best." CABARET SCENES Magazine

Annas background in musical theatre has made the transition into cabaret quite natural. She has studied under cabaret luminaries Amanda McBroom (the genius behind The Rose), Lina Koutrakos, Steve Ross and St. Louis cabaret artist, Tim Schall. Anna captivated the audience at the St. Louis Cabaret Conference alumni show in August 2008.

Her breakout performance came in October 2008 when Anna shared the stage with the renowned Fran Landesman in a four-night run at The Gaslight Theater. Her solo debut was a tremendous success in February, 2009 and included an encore performance in April. She first premiered Inside Story in August 2009, with an encore performance in November. Her Christmas Cabaret "Baby,It's Cold Outside" with Bob Becherer raised over $1800 for the Ronald McDonald House!

"Inside Story" will showcase Landesmans songs, some of which Anna performed with Fran, including her most well-known, "Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most."

"Warm and charismatic {Anna} is a gifted musical raconteur... It's just what we want in a cabaret artist." Steve Callahan, KDHX radio
