DESCRIPTION:NOVEMBER 3RD\nSHOW 7PM\n  \n \n  \nISABELLE GEORGES “Oh la la” direct from Paris!  a joyful combination of musical theatre\, French songs\, classical\, jazz and Yiddish music \nChicago music agent Barb Bailey gushes:  \nParisian Cabaret Singer\, Dancer\, Storyteller\, Isabelle Georges and her Music Director\, Frederik Steenbrink\, are a Tour de Force unto themselves.
