The Royal Room Cabaret at Colony Hotel Presents the Four Freshmen

The Colony Hotel – which The Palm Beach Post has hailed as “probably the best cabaret on the planet” – plans another sizzling, song-filled season at the hotel’s celebrated Royal Room, featuring some really hot headliners straight from Manhattan’s most sophisticated nightspots and Broadway – including, in fact, a Royal Room regular who was a 2008 Tony Award nominee.

 “The Colony’s 2008-2009 Cabaret Season will be our biggest and best ever. Instead of having to fly up to New York City to see major cabaret stars at the Algonquin’s Oak Room, the Carlyle or Feinstein’s at the Regency, fans of the Great American Songbook now can enjoy many of the same extraordinary performers within the cozy confines of the Royal Room. I can guarantee the quality of these performers because I personally reviewed each one,” promises Roger Everingham, general manager of Palm Beach’s favorite boutique hotel, which has repeatedly earned the highly coveted “4-Diamond Rating,” from AAA.

Widely considered to be one of the top cabaret venues in the country, The Colony’s Royal Room has scheduled another audience-pleasing line-up of performers.  Celebrating more than a half-century of crowd-pleasing performances, The Four Freshmen is the nation’s longest lasting vocal harmony group. From their first hit song, “It’s a Blue World,” to being voted Down Beat Magazine’s Vocal Group of the Year in both 2000 and 2001, the group presents classic jazz-pop songs with cutting-edge vitality. The Four Freshmen have released more than 40 albums and 70 singles and been nominated six times for a Grammy. This will be The Four Freshmen’s fourth series of performances in The Colony’s Royal Room.  The show will be held on December 17-20th.

Reviews of The Four Freshmen include Charles Osgood on CBS Sunday Morning who commented, “Some musical groups survive and even flourish, year after year, decade after decade. The Four Freshmen have endured for the simple reason that they are top in their class.”  The Virginia-Pilot said, “A more charming evening of jazz there never was.” The Topeka Capital-Journal urged, “The sound of The Four Freshmen remains as fresh and vibrant as when the original quartet started singing more than 50 years ago.”

For all Royal Room evening performances, the doors open at 6:45 p.m. for dinner and the show starts around 8.  To make reservations, call the hotel box-office at 561-659-8100.
