About
"Andrea Marcovicci has an incandescent enthusiasm and a masterly balance between poignancy and wit."
Stephen Holden, The New York Times

... at The Gardenia
In a career spanning over five decades, Andrea Marcovicci - glamorous, sophisticated, witty raconteur, philanthropist, actress, singer, model, master teacher, mentor, composer, writer, and director - has laughed with Danny DeVito, tussled with Sir Michael Caine, and smooched with Tom Selleck. Her film debut in “The Front” brought her a Golden Globe nomination. She’s played Broadway, the White House, sold out Carnegie Hall, and ushered in the millennium with the Chicago Symphony. She has created full-cast variety shows, and over forty-five solo cabaret shows. “Ten Cents a Dance,” her tribute to Ruth Etting, aired on PBS. Andrea has guest starred on the celebrated Prairie Home Companion and read poetry, and stories, for NPR. A champion of the American Popular Songbook, her recordings reflect her deep devotion not only to classic songwriters of the past (like Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and Rodgers & Hart) but her encouragement of new voices composing in that same tradition. Her many awards and honors include a MAC, BISTRO, and MABEL. Andrea was inducted into The Cabaret Hall of Fame in 2016. She holds the record – an unprecedented 25 seasons – at the legendary Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel, and was the final performer ever to grace that stage.
