NEW YORK—To anyone who’s been following the doings of the entertainment world for any length of time, the name Len Cariou conjures up excellence, skill, and class. In this one-man presentation, which mixes and melds songs from beloved musicals with brief scenes from Shakespeare plays, Cariou first wins you over, then dazzles you.
His only helper onstage is pianist and music director Mark Janas. Janas, who co-conceived the show along with Cariou and director Barry Kleinbort, accompanies Cariou, occasionally throwing in a few lines of dialogue.
Cariou is able to project informality and intimacy.
