And Steven Lutvak is as amazing a performer as he is a composer and lyricist. Just as Mr. Lutvak successfully juggles the various parts of his multifaceted career, so he gives equal time to all of the aspects of love in his current cabaret show. Though he admits much of his writing is autobiographical, what he has to say about love is as universal as it is personal. He reminds us that love is serious and sometimes very funny. Love is as fulfilling as it is sometimes dauntingly lonely.
Love is returned and it often is unreturned and unrequited.
Just as we believe we can prepare for what love has to offer, we are often sadly unprepared for the surprises loves lays at our hearts. The show also includes one of the most beautiful songs this critic has heard. It speaks of the love we might have had and find ourselves still longing for. Steven Lutvak is successful because he is talented, because he believes in himself and in those with whom he collaborates, because he refuses to allow the word 'no' to undue his efforts, and mostly because he has an enormous and generous spirit of unconditional and non-judgmental love that perfectly counterpoints his abundance of musical and vocal skills. Whatever you had planned for Sunday evenings in February can be rescheduled.
