Review:
Tammy Grimes at the Metropolitan Room: it's a pleasure to visit with and spend time with one of our all-time great performers. Okay, she can't really sustain a note any more, but that doesn't matter; it's the real Tammy Grimes up there, and her long-acknowledged comic timing is still active. She still radiates, still entertains every corner of the room.
She has picked mostly humorous songs, but whether comic, sentimental or dramatic, and including a speaksong from High Society, it's a pleasure. She gives us stories from her Broadway shows, and her closer is Noel Coward's "A Talent to Amuse," which she really does have. She'll be there again on April 12th.
