Ute Lemper has started performing in New York at the cafe where the late Eartha Kitt was always performing. Now Lemper has retooled her performances a little bit. The reviewer that I like to read seems to think that this isn’t the best show that she has ever performed. In the 80s, she made a name for herself doing German cabaret music, and has kept doing this for a long time. It’s not that this show is bad; it’s just that it’s a bit different from the usual, and it’s not quite as exciting for outsiders as other shows. Of course, the people who like the music will like this show. But her Tango section is reportedly not nearly as good as the others. Read the whole Lemper review here.
