CABARET REVIEW - CHICAGO
Mark Burnell and Anne Pringle at DAVENPORT'S

Mark Burnell and Anne Pringle, "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves"
Davenport's Piano Bar and Cabaret,
September 7, 2003, 8:00 pm

Mark Burnell and Anne Pringle have taken Chicago cabaret fans on "Tales of Our Travels" and a trip through their own songbook, and now they are reviving (with substantial changes) one of their first shows, "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves." This is one fine show!

Opening with Burnell and Pringle wandering (bravely), with only a candle to guide them, to the stage, while performing an a cappella, un-amplified rendition of "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves," this tribute to "those who live on the outside" opens with a bang, and it never fails to entertain, surprise, and thrill. Whether it is their fun take on Irving Berlin's "A Couple of Swells," their chilling rendition of "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd," or their fantastically, formally, and funny version of "The Ballad of Mack the Knife," Burnell and Pringle certainly prove that they are one talented and entertaining couple. This show is simply great!

Mr. Burnell and Ms. Pringle will be performing "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves" every Sunday in September at 7:00 pm at Davenport's Piano Bar and Cabaret.

DAVENPORT'S Piano Bar & Cabaret is located at 1383 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL - 773-278-1830 - http://www.davenportspianobar.com/.
