Singer
Barbara Cook
A truly legendary performer and singer who just seems to get better with each passing year, as she continues to thrill audiences worldwide.
After an extensive career on Broadway (roles in Carousel, Plain & Fancy and The Music Man) Barbara Cook found a brand new lease of life singing on the major concert stages, and in prestigious cabaret rooms around the world.
This also launched a string of landmark recordings that allowed the true magic of the Cook voice to be preserved forever. In February 2001 a sensational show at Carnegie Hall, with her long-term Musical Director Wally Harper, marked the 50th anniversary of Ms Cook's Broadway debut
