Michael McKean and Annette O'Toole Go Clubbing at Feinstein's in New York City

Oscar(R)-Nominated Songwriters and Actors Bring Their Songs to Manhattan Nightclub

LOS ANGELES, April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- For years, friends of Michael McKean and Annette O'Toole have known that the couple is apt to pick up instruments and break into song when things get festive around their house. Now, the pair is taking their act uptown with a two-week stint at the tony New York nightclub Feinstein's at the Regency, where from May 24 through June 4, 2005, they'll perform "An Evening with Michael McKean & Annette O'Toole: No Standards."

Married since March, 1999, McKean and O'Toole have in recent years made room for songwriting in their crowded schedules. The multi-talented McKean, who might be best known as Lenny on "Laverne & Shirley" and as David St. Hubbins in "Spinal Tap," has recently appeared on the New York stage in the world premiere of Woody Allen's "A Second-Hand Memory" and as Edna Turnblad in "Hairspray." O'Toole, whose varied resume ranges from "48 Hrs." to "The Kennedys of Massachusetts," has since 2001 played young Clark Kent's mother Martha in the WB series "Smallville." Three of their compositions were featured in the 2003 Christopher Guest comedy "A Mighty Wind," including the Oscar(R)-nominated ballad "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow." (McKean contributed an additional seven songs to the project, including the Grammy- winning title track.)

At Feinstein's, the couple will be accompanied by O'Toole's daughter, actress and musician Nell Geisslinger. "I'd like to hope that our audience is ready for some surprises," says McKean of shows that may bring songs like "Potato's In the Paddy Wagon" and "Banjo Daddy" to a room accustomed to hosting more sedate excursions through the Great American Songbook. "I think we'll be the first act to play Feinstein's without singing 'New York, New York.'"

Shows Tuesday through Saturday at 8:30 PM with late shows on Friday and Saturday at 11:00 PM. All shows have a $60 cover and a $40 minimum. Jackets suggested but not required. FEINSTEIN'S AT THE REGENCY is located at 540 Park Avenue at 61st Street in New York City. For ticket reservations and club information call (212) 339-4095, or log on to TicketWeb.com.
