  • “A smart, complicated storyteller…and a streak of headstrong sensuality.”
    The New York Times
  • With a world-class band featuring members of Clooney’s own musical ensemble, and Montgomery’s critically acclaimed powerhouse vocals belting out hits like “Hey There,” “Come On-A My House,” and “Tenderly,” audiences sing along, laugh, weep, and dance in their seats. Montgomery’s talent for storytelling elevates the music into a spellbinding, one-woman tour-de-force.

  • “This is when you know you have seen something utterly and truly extraordinary: a perfect cabaret show.”

What people say

Between songs, she shares stories from Clooney's autobiography, occasionally paralleling them with her own experiences; however, for the most part, she allows the music to speak for itself, which it does most eloquently. There is no sentimentality here, even when diving into the emotional depths of a song like "Love You Didn't Do Right By Me." Yes, there is heartbreak, but it is leavened with humor, irony and an utter lack of self-pity.

The simple beauty of the song and Montgomery’s voice were an exquisite close to what will surely be one of the best shows of 2024.
girlSINGER: A Celebration of Rosemary Clooney was a triumph and Carolyn Montgomery was the star at its warm, glowing center. When it returns, and it must, do not miss it.

Montgomery captured Clooney’s sound, while being herself. Her rich vocals were a solace in this world that seems to be going mad and were highly welcomed. If you get a chance to see this truly wonderfully insightful show go…..you will not only feel satisfied but blessed.
