"Emily Bergl, an incandescent kewpie doll with a bright Betty Boop-inflected chirp, a defiant flounce and a sharp comedic edge, took the Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel by storm on Tuesday evening. Her sensational show, “Kidding on the Square” may have played elsewhere, but arriving at the staid Oak Room it felt like a gust of fresh air that could knock you off your feet."......Stephen Holden, NY Times

Theatre, TV and film star and singer Emily Bergl ventured into the world of cabaret last year and the result can be enjoyed on her just-released CD of her stage show Kidding on the Square. It's a live recording of Bergl's cabaret venue earlier this year. Kidding on the Square is a vintage cabaret act told from the perspective of a modern girl.

Drawing from her work on stage and screen, Bergl creates a variety of colorful characters that bring the elegant melodies of the 1920's and 30's to life. The show has appeared at New York's Oak Room Supper Club and Metropolitan Room, San Francisco's Rrazz Room, Davenport's Piano Bar in Chicago, The Can Can in my hometown of Seattle and the Celebration Cabaret in San Diego to name a few. The show is directed by Sarna Lapine and musical director is Jonathan Mastro.

Emily was first interveiwed in the BCR way back more than 8 years ago when she was on Broadway in The Lion in Winter. Currently you will know her as a discontented spouse on ''Southland and'' an aggressive lawyer on ''Royal Pains''.
