When you think of Audrey Hepburn, you think of timeless beauty.  But Audrey was so much more than a pretty face and a killer clavicle.  She was a child of war. From WWII refugee to Academy Award winner, from UNICEF beneficiary to UNICEF ambassador, Audrey led a remarkable and exemplary life.  Actress, fashion icon, wife, mother, and tireless humanitarian, Audrey is as much beloved today as she was half a century ago. Join acclaimed Chicago cabaret artist, Hilary Ann Feldman for her touching, funny, and enlightening tribute to this extraordinary woman.

 

As of February 2023, there are 17.6 million people in Ukraine requiring humanitarian assistance (that's roughly 40% of Ukraine's population). 45% are women, 23% are children, and 15% are people with disabilities. They have lost so much. Let us open our hearts. Skokie has donated its theatre, and Hilary has donated her performance, so all proceeds from this event, beyond modest expenses, will go to UNICEF's relief efforts for Ukraine, just as Audrey would have wanted.

 

Called "a tour de force of cabaret, opera, and jazz" by the Chicago Tribune, Hilary has appeared across the country, and in London, celebrating music of the Great American Songbook past and present, while paying tribute to some of entertainment's most beloved icons. Named one of the top 5 female musicians in Chicago by CBS 2 Chicago, Hilary is known not only for her unique take on traditional cabaret fare, but also for pushing the boundaries of what that fare can be. She has a reputation for clever storytelling through song, unique subject matter, and an exquisite, versatile singing voice.  Expertly weaving together her wealth of knowledge on her chosen subject with just the right music to tell the story, Hilary creates clever and compelling performances that surprise and delight audiences.
