Bebe Neuwirth: Stories with Piano No. 4

Bebe Neuwirth lives on deadpan. In her best roles—including her Tony-winning turns in Chicago and Sweet Charity, and her Emmy-winning stretch as Lilith Sternin on Cheers—she has presented herself as a kind of human icicle, pale and stiff and dripping with wit. Tonight she slices her distinctive contralto into songs by Kander and Ebb, Sondheim, Berlin and Waits.
