Vocalists Bobbi Carrey and Will McMillan return to SCULLERS JAZZ CLUB with THE ENVELOPE PLEASE. The Academy Awards are not only a part of America’s history, but are also a mirror of the times. Beginning in 1934, a new category was added – Best Song From a Motion Picture. And for the next seven decades, Oscar winners and nominees for best song have reflected the pulse of America.
The first 25 years of “Best Song From a Motion Picture” not only reflects the history of America, but also “The Golden Age of Hollywood.” The list of best song winners and nominees during these years includes most of the leading songwriters of the 20th century, from Irving Berlin, Sammy Cahn, and George Gershwin to Harold Arlen, Harry Warren, Cole Porter and Johnny Mercer.
Join Bobbi Carrey & Will McMillan for a history and appreciation of Academy Award nominees and winners during its first 25 years. Any history that includes both “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” and “True Love” is bound to be colorful.

IRVING BERLIN: THE VOICE OF EVERYMAN
Bobbi Carrey & Will McMillan
with Doug Hammer on piano
From “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” in 1911 to “Count Your Blessings” in 1954, Irving Berlin was the voice of Everyman, putting into words and music what everyone felt to be true about their lives.
He wrote tender love songs, waltzes, novelty songs, in many genres. And unlike many others, Berlin never relied on any one style to sustain his success, and by doing so managed to stay current and relevant long after others had fallen by the wayside.
In appreciation of Berlin’s genius, this show by Bobbi Carrey and Will McMillan offers songs by-and stories about-Irving Berlin.
