Sue Matsuki & Gregory Toroian's Heartfelt RESERVATIONS FOR TWO …The dynamic duo delighted the crowd! By: Analisa Bell- April, 2025

In Reservations for Two at Don't Tell Mama this past Friday evening, April 4, cabaret chanteuse Sue Matsuki and musical director/pianist/arranger Gregory Toroian celebrated their 31 year artistic partnership with a performance brimming with polish, playfulness, and mutual respect. Directed by Lina Koutrakos and supported by Skip Ward on bass and David Silliman on drums, the evening paid loving tribute to legendary duos of the past while reaffirming why some collaborations (like Matsuki and Toroian's) truly stand the test of time.

Opening with a seamless mash-up of Hammerstein & Wilkinson’s "Because of You" and Cole Porter’s "Night and Day," Matsuki and Toroian immediately set the tone — elegant, heartfelt, and completely in sync. Their phrasing danced like old friends finishing each other’s sentences, or, in this case, notes.

The show wove through iconic duets made famous by the likes of Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé and Louis Prima and Keely Smith, each reimagined with reverence and originality. Highlights included tight harmonies and a crisp bass solo in "Bei Mir Bist Du Shon" (inspired by the 2011 Bette Midler/Paul Simon version), witty interplay in Frank Loesser’s "Slow Boat to China," and a dazzling vocal-bass duet on Sheila Jordan and Cameron Brown’s 2019 mash-up of "I Got Rhythm" and "Listen to Monk (Rhythmning)."

A surprise guest spot by vocalist and PR pro Kati Neiheisel added charm with a cheerful Happy Days/Get Happy duet, nodding to the Garland-Streisand classic. But the emotional centerpiece was a stunning, pared back take on Carly Simon’s Anticipation — the song that sparked Matsuki and Toroian’s long collaboration. Their interpretation intertwined with effortless grace, a testament to decades of trust and artistry.
