3 Girls 3, "Back to Bacharach"
Davenports Piano Bar and Cabaret
Todd Shuman, Cabaret Hotline Online
Almost two years ago, when I began writing for Cabaret Hotline, I was astounded by a trio of young women performing the songs of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. That show, "What the World Needs Now," was a true winner and made me the Bacharach fan I am today. I am happy to report that that same trio, 3Girls3 (Gail Becker, Patty Morabito, and MaryMonica Thomas), has decided to revisit Bacharach's music.
Their new show, "Back to Bacharach," retains many of the old favorites from their first show celebrating Bacharach, but also has some new gems that certainly make it worth seeing again. The old favorites include their takes on classic songs like "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head," "Close to You," and the Fosse-inspired "Walk on By" --all performed quite effectively by this fun and talented trio of young women. The new gems include a new arrangement of "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" by Mark Burnell, "The Blob," "Promises, Promises," and an extremely effective "God Give Me Strength" (lyric by Elvis Costello) performed extremely well by Ms. Becker.
This was a fun and entertaining evening by a vocal trio that's hard to beat!
3 Girls 3, "We Need a Little Christmas..."

Todd Shuman, Cabaret Hotline Online
Christmas has once again struck the cabaret world, and, quite frankly, by December 3 I was getting tired hearing "Sleigh Ride" and the assorted other songs of the season. Still, off I went to see 3 Girls 3's latest cabaret show knowing that I would not be disappointed. The last time I saw this gloriously talented trio -- Gail Becker, Patty Morabito, and MaryMonica Thomas -- they made me fall in love with the music of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, so I was certain that I would hear those old holiday chestnuts in exciting new arrangements. I was not disappointed--they managed to bring some Christmas joy to this Scrooge...
...I have said it before and I will gladly say it again -- 3 Girls 3 is one of the most talented trios that I have been fortunate to discover here in the Windy City! They are consistently good performers, and I wholeheartedly recommend that everyone see them perform soon. They are fresh, exciting, and their love of their art is contagious."
