Barbara Cook and Rick McKay LIVE at Barnes & Noble NYC

Barbara Cook will be appearing in conversation with filmmaker Rick McKay at Barnes and Noble, 66th and Broadway on July 9th at 6:00 p.m in the third floor event space.

Mr. McKay will be speaking with the musical star about her long career as Broadway star, concert performer and recording artist. Ms. Cook will also accept questions from the audience. After the presentation, Ms. Cook will be signing copies of her newest CD, "No One Is Alone." In addition, Mr. McKay will be signing copies of the Sony/BMG DVD of his film, "Broadway: The Golden Age," which Ms. Cook stars in and which will also be available.

Barbara Cook has achieved legendary status in a near-60 year career. She first established herself as one of Broadway’s greatest leading ladies, renowned for both her pure soprano and her depth of acting, as she created such roles as Cunegonde in “Candide”, Hilda in “Plain and Fancy”, Amalia in “She Loves Me” and Marian Paroo in “The Music Man”. She then established a second persona as a cabaret/concert performer, interpreting both theater and popular music with great humor and deep understanding. Her most recent CD, “No One Is Alone”, from DRG, is based on the singer's Carnegie Hall appearance last November, her sixth solo concert at the hall. This fall, Cook will mark her 80th birthday with two celebratory concerts: at the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles on October 27 and on November 19 with a concert with the New York Philharmonic at Avery Fisher Hall.

Rick McKay is the award-winning producer/director/writer/cinematographer of the hit film “Broadway: The Golden Age,” a superb documentary that celebrates the great artists who made New York the center of the theater world in the later part of the 20th Century. Among those featured is Ms. Cook. Two sequels are already in the works. For five seasons Mr. McKay was a segment producer on WNET13’s City Arts, the most honored, locally produced show in television history, which won over 30 Emmy awards. His wealth of experience in film, television, live entertainment and journalism has made Mr. McKay one of the most prolific and well-rounded independent producer/director/writers working in the industry today, as well as a witty story-teller and raconteur.

Check the Broadway: The Golden Age website for news and updates of the release of McKay's two sequels, which will complete his Broadway film trilogy and bring the history up the present day. Also, watch for news on McKay's appearances around the country as well as upcoming Crystal Cruises all over the world. McKay will also be appearing live on WLIW/Channel 21 in the New  York area on August 8th to co-host their premiere of "Broadway: The Golden Age." More details and dates will be at the BGA News Site soon. There will also soon be an announcement of a new internet based TV series, hosted by McKay, and featuring never-before-seen footage from McKay's Broadway trilogy!
