Kidding on the Square

Emily Bergl took the cabaret world by storm with her hit show Kidding on the Square, garnering rave reviews from the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg News. Kidding on the Square is now touring the country. For dates, please see below.

On May 1st, Bergl will premiere her brand new show, NY I Love You at the legendary Cafe Carlyle. This intimate evening of songs and stories explores a life long love affair with the Big Apple and all the characters that call it home. Audiences are transported with classic tunes form Rodgers and Hart to Gus Kahn, and sly reinventions of modern pop from the Beach Boys to Rufus Rainwright.

The show is directed by Sarna Lapine (Sondheim on Sondheim, South Pacific), and musical directed by Jonathan Mastro, composer and musical director for David Cromer's hit revival of Our Town.

Emily Bergl is one of a rare breed of actresses who is at home on the Broadway stage, television, and in Hollywood films. This past television season she shocked audiences as the tragic housewife Beth Young on ABC's Desperate Housewives, and as Tami Bryant on the TNT hit Southland. Ms. Bergl most recently appeared on the NY stage in Nora Ephron's Love, Loss and What I Wore, and Becky Shaw at Second Stage. She has starred on Broadway opposite Gabriel Byrne, Stockard Channing, and Laurence Fishburne.
