Musical Review of the Roaring '20s Benefits UN Women

This weekend, from Oct. 24-26 at New York's Moscow 57, Karen Nason and special guest Ellen Kaye will star in "Let's Misbehave! A Musical Review of the Roaring '20s and Beyond," to benefit UN Women. The event, brought to you by Moscow 57 Entertaining and The Three Tomatoes, is a fundraiser dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls.

"We are delighted to support the important work of UN Women, and are so excited to bring this terrific music to Moscow 57. This will be a fun evening," said Kaye, co-owner of Moscow 57.

Kaye performs nightly with Ethan Fein and the Moscow 57 Band at their new restaurant, Moscow 57 on Delancey, a Russian Central Asian restaurant with nightly live music. Ellen has performed at Carnegie Hall (with the New York Pops), Town Hall, noted jazz club The Iridium and the Metropolitan Room. Kaye's recordings are "Ice Wine - Songs for Christmas and dark winter nights," "3AM...the dogs, the milkman & me," "2AM" and a single of Dar Williams's "When I Was a Boy." Kaye owns Moscow 57 on Delancey with partners Seth Goldman and Ethan Fein.

This weekend, Moscow 57 will become a "prohibition speakeasy" and attendees are encouraged to dress in roaring '20s clothes, knock on the door three times, and "tell them The Three Tomatoes sent you." Return to the days of jazz legends Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. Cole Porter wrote tunes that are as beloved today as they were then. And Mae West was on her way to becoming a legend. Nason, the winner of this year's Tomatoes Got Talent Contest, will channel Mae West and other performers of that amazing decade.

Nason's knockout performance of one of the songs from the revue won her this year's Tomatoes' Got Talent Contest. Nason was a fixture in the NYC music scene in the 1990s, and took some time off to raise her own kids. Now she's back on the scene.

She is the owner and founder of "Hoboken Hothouse" a music venue with a garage, cafe, and outside garden that hosts events and live music in Hoboken, NJ. Nason has been a singer all of her life, and has appeared in many shows throughout her career. She owned and operated a jazz bar and plant and flower shop in Chelsea for over a decade. Nason has worked with Bill Kerby, the writer of "The Rose" with Bette Midler, to develop the show for Broadway as a rock 'n' roll musical. The work is still in stages of development.

This event to benefit UN Women came together because Benton, founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a lifestyle web site and newsletter for "women who aren't kids," heard Nason sing Dar Williams's song "When I Was a Boy," and asked her to sing the song at a luncheon for UN Women at the United Nations. They've remained in touch since and are both excited to be collaborating on this event.

"Let's Misbehave" will be held from Oct. 24-26 at Moscow 57, 168 � Delancey Street in New York. Tickets are $20 with a $20 food/drink minimum. For more information, visit www.thethreetomatoes.com
