Klea Blackhurst: A Resplendent Evening of Musical Treasure

In the intimate confines of Chelsea Table + Stage, that most welcome addition to New York’s array of distinguished musical venues, Klea Blackhurst delivered a performance of such artistry that one could easily imagine the ghosts of Broadway’s golden age nodding in approval from the shadows. Her presentation of “Autumn in New York: Vernon Duke’s Broadway” on Sunday evening proved not merely a recital but rather a vibrant renaissance of one of American musical theater’s most intriguing compositional voices. With infectious enthusiasm, Blackhurst guided her audience through the fascinating career of a man who, as she aptly noted, could “dine regularly with both Prokofiev and Gershwin.”
