Andrea Marcovicci

Born on 18 November 1948 in New York City, Andrea Marcovicci launched her professional path during the 1960s first as a folk singer before shifting her primary energies toward acting. Her screen credits encompassed the daytime drama Love Is A Many Splendored Thing, while her stage work featured a 1972 Broadway bow in The Ambassador along with multiple off-Broadway engagements and appearances with the American Conservatory Theater. Film roles included the 1976 production The Front, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination, followed by The Hand in 1981, The Stuff in 1985, and Jack The Bear in 1993.

From the mid-1980s onward she concentrated on singing, performing both in intimate cabaret rooms and in larger halls, frequently accompanied by symphony orchestras across San Francisco, New York, and additional cities. That trajectory included her first Carnegie Hall solo appearance in 1993 alongside the American Symphony Orchestra. London engagements took her twice to Pizza On The Park, in 1994 and again in 1997. During the middle and later years of the decade she presented a solo evening at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall and took part in the premiere of Enid Futterman and Michael Cohen’s song cycle I Am Anne Frank. Her first Australian outing occurred at the 1998 Melbourne Arts Festival, while the entire decade saw her maintain a steady cabaret residency at New York’s Algonquin Hotel. Into the early 2000s she sustained an active schedule of cabaret and concert dates across the United States, highlighted by a new collaboration with the Carolina Ballet and the Lincoln Center commission Kurt Weill In America. Her assured stage command and lively persona have established her as a widely admired performer.
