Raconteur Rozelle Returns With BRING ME GIANTS At Birdland Theater Robbie Rozelle, the storytelling, joke-making, song-singing cabaret artist, and larger-than-life personality hasn't been onstage in a year.  An in-demand graphic artist and website designer, as well as the A&R Director at Broadway Records, Rozelle has been so busy with his day job that he hasn't had time to put together a new club act.  But fans of the storyteller with a quick wit and tender heart can rejoice, for Robbie is on his way back to Birdland, the scene of his 2021 triumph, THE NEXT ONE (read the review HERE), only this time Rozelle has chosen the more intimate Birdland Theater for his playground.  

BRING ME GIANTS is being described as a "deeply personal show" that "examines how everything is anxiety-inducing all the time."  True to his unique style and humor, Rozelle hails the upcoming show as "a spellbinding night that's cheaper than therapy."  Also true to the Rozelle brand, Robbie will invite some starry guest artists to appear with him, including Tony Award nominee and Emmy winner Liz Callaway, fellow Emmy winner Mauricio Martinez, Bistro Award winner Ari Axelrod, and The Shrill Collective's Allison Wilkes (read about the important work The Shrill Collective is doing HERE).  

BRING ME GIANTS will be Musical Directed by Robbie Rozelle's longtime esteemed collegue Yasuhiko Fukuoka leading Rozelle's band, The Two-Drink Minimum, which has been with him since his debut show SONGS FROM INSIDE MY LOCKER, the live recording of which was called “the gold standard of cabaret recordings” by Behind the Curtain.    The show will play June 29th at 8:30 pm.

Birdland Theater is located at 315 West 44th Street, NYC. 

Tickets are available on the Birdland website HERE.
