On Saturday Jan. 25, at 7 and 9 p.m. at the Philipstown Depot Theatre, four ladies and one gentleman will sing an evening of songs from James Bond movies, accompanied by a four-piece band.

Conceived and directed by Lisa Sabin, the concept presented itself while Sabin attended a cycle class. The song Skyfall came on (from the most recent Bond movie of the same title), and she thought, “Of course! James Bond!” The songs from these movies are so naturally theatrical, that Sabin thought they would make an entertaining and provocative evening.

The performers and musicians are pulling out all the stops to do justice to this deeply sophisticated, fun, and sexy body of work. Some of the greatest American singers have recorded the original versions of these songs (Gladys Knight, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones and Adele, to name a few), and the performers of Shaken Not Stirred promise not to disappoint.

Look for impeccably dressed singers giving it their all and taking the audience to new heights, accompanied by a slightly ruffled and very spirited band. It is sure to be an unforgettable evening.

Starring: Christine Brooks Bokhour, Cat Guthrie, Jenn Lee, Anthony P. McGlaun and Sabin. With special guests The Bond Band: Tom McCoy, Mike LaRocco, Rick Gedney and Jay Nicholas. Tickets are available at brownpapertickets.com or call 800-838-3006.
