BABY JANE DEXTER
"It's Personal!"
Ross Patterson, Musical Director
This year’s MAC Lifetime Achievement Award winner dedicates her brand new show “It’s Personal!” to her personal friend Julie Wilson, the previously long-reigning Grande Dame of clubdom. “This is the first show in my life without Julie in the audience,” says Dexter, “but she’s got a place at Booth 1 where she belongs!”
As she bravely faces her many health challenges, Dexter has somehow managed to cook up a brand new show in the process. “You think it was personal before?” Dexter rethorts? “You ain’t seen nothing yet!”
The brand new show features compelling and profound songs from legends Cy Coleman, Peggy Lee and Cole Porters, to other deities like John Lennon and Sir Paul McCartney, to other greats like Felix Cavalierre, Billy Roy and not a few surprises. Like her previous shows, as Stephen Holden of The NY Times has observed, “Ms. Dexter’s eye for exceptional songs from all areas of the musical map is as keen as ever.” He goes on: “Ms. Dexter tosses thunderbolts, but they won’t hurt you; their big, crashing sound is driven by a big heart.” HUGE, SAY WE!
The recipient of seven major MAC Awards, two Nightlife Awards, and two Back Stage Bistro Awards, Dexter has performed at an endless array of major venues throughout the country, including Reno Sweeney, The Ballroom, Eighty Eight’s, Blues Alley, The Kennedy Center and Weill Recital Hall. The Metropolitan Room, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in May, has been her NY base of operations from the beginning.
