“Mad About the Boy”

Friday, April 17^th

Victoria and I are extremely excited about an upcoming Black-Tie gala coming up in May. Working in conjunction with the Museum of Performance & Design, we have put together an amazing evening for our members! The romance of the 20's and 30's will come alive with a cabaret performance of Noël Coward by the talented Steve Ross. At once comical, classic, and layered with music and wit, this style of entertainment so perfectly fits the City Club that we couldn't resist hosting this special event.

New to Noel Coward as a performer? The Museum of Performance and Design reminds us of his enduring legacy:

"Star Quality: I don't know what it is, but I've got it," said Noël Coward with his inimitable style, cigarette in hand and twinkle in his eye.

The Museum of Performance & Design is proud to celebrate this extraordinary figure in its new exhibition, Star Quality: The World of Noël Coward.

For many Coward is known purely as a playwright, creating such classics as Private Lives, Blithe Spirit, Hay Fever, and Design for Living, or as the composer of such timeless songs as "Mad About the Boy," "I'll See You Again," and "Mad Dogs and Englishmen." Star Quality is the first exhibition to show the full extent of his prodigious talents as a director of plays and movies, actor, cabaret artist, wartime patriot, painter, and patron of charitable causes, as well as his knack for celebrity and his gift for sustaining warm and enduring friendships.

For a small taste of what's to come, take a look at a short video – then get your tux pressed and set the date aside! And after the event, make sure to check in on the blog for a post-party wrap up.

When: Friday, May 29^th

Take a look at our online calendar for all the pricing and timing!

I look forward to seeing you then!
