SONGS ABOUT PARENTS AND CHILDREN

"Few singers captivate an audience as quickly and convincingly as McMillan can. He presents his repertoire with a beguilingly intimate approach all his own." Jules Becker, New England Entertainment Digest

SONGS ABOUT PARENTS AND CHILDREN weaves together stories and songs including "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" (from The Blackbirds of 1928), "William Wants a Doll" (from Free To Be You And Me), "Carefully Taught" (from South Pacific), "Plant A Radish" (from The Fantasticks), "Not While I'm Around" (from Sweeney Todd), and "Easier to Love" (from Baby) as well as pop songs such as "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Would Be" by Carly Simon and "The Circle Game" by Joni Mitchell.

Refreshments will be provided during intermission, and Third Life Studio has a wonderful Steinway grand piano!

"McMillan knows how to connect with an audience. His new show is a conceptual delight which had audiences enraptured The crowd left entertained and surely a bit warmer inside." Joshua Shea, Innewsweekly

"By the end of the show audience members were wiping tears and clapping madly. Now that's amore." Aiden Fitzgerald, Boston Herald

"Mr. McMillan's vocals are impeccable, and the show was a delightful evening that I will long remember." Stu Hamstra, Cabaret Hotline Online
