Manhattan duo Michael Garin and Mardie Millit have been known to stir up delicious musical mayhem wherever they go. Michael is a Drama Desk Award-winning composer/lyricist (for Song of Singapore) and Emerson College dropout who has made a living entertaining New Yorkers, playing the piano and singing at the Monkey Bar, the Rainbow Room, the VIP room at Limelight, and the Williamstown Theater Festival, to name a few. Mardie has a degree in Classical Voice from The Ohio State University and spent many years playing roles like Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady and Maria in The Sound of Music in regional theatres around the country before embarking on a cabaret career. They met each other at Jim Caruso’s Cast Party at Birdland in 2005 and began performing together soon after, most notably on Sunday nights at the legendary Elaine’s, from 2008 until its closing in 2011. They have brought their unique blend of musical virtuosity and goofy charm to Manhattan clubs 54 Below, Le Cirque, the Village Underground, Iridium, the Rainbow Room, and the Django, among others. Michael is currently the house pianist at the Roxy Hotel in Tribeca, where he plays his renowned musical mashups every Tuesday through Saturday; he is also writing music and lyrics for a musical adaptation of Mary Astor’s Purple Diary by Ed Sorel, slated for a 2020 workshop. Mardie is working on a solo cabaret show and preparing to appear as Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd with Dream Productions at the Laurie Beechman Theatre this Fall. They married each other in 2012 and live in Harlem.
