Michel Bell & Catherine Matejka
The Colony is proud to present this knockout husband-and-wife performing team, both cruise ship superstars. A Tony Award nominee for his performance in Hal Prince’s production of Show Boat, Michel Bell also appeared on Broadway in Civil War, where he earned an Outer Critic’s Circle Award, and Riverdance: The Musical. A former member of the Fifth Dimension, Bell has performed with Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Julie Andrews, Perry Como and Sammy Davis, Jr. Catherine Matejka has performed internationally as a piano soloist and chamber musician, and she served as music director and conductor for Hal Prince’s Show Boat and Riverdance, and as a vocal coach for Porgy and Bess.

Reviews of Michel Bell & Catherine Matejka:
+ The (London) Independent: “Michael Bell (is) a giant-shouldered bear of a man… Yet even such physical presence is eclipsed the moment he opens his mouth (because he) has one of the sonorous speaking voices I’ve ever encountered – sexy in an Old Spice voiceover way, and mesmerizingly resonant.”

+ Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: "Hearing Michel Bell sing ‘Ol’ Man River’ with a bass-baritone that rumbles from the center of the earth is worth the price of admission alone.”

+ Los Angeles Times: “Bell’s singing can make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. The night I attended, his rendition of the standard in the first act brought people to their feet.”

Cost to Attend Michel Bell & Catherine Matejka:
$90 for prix fixe dinner and show; $45 for show only.
