The Coterie will present the spectacular concert event Red Carpet Memories: A Celebration of Academy Award-Nominated Songs. Featuring an all-star lineup of vocal talent from Broadway, Television and the Los Angeles music scene, this highly-theatrical musical revue will pay homage to some of the most beloved songs in movie history. Relive your favorite movie memories with the songs of Fred & Ginger, Judy Garland, the kids from Fame, Kermit the Frog, and more. The movies have never sounded so good! With a song selection that spans generations, this is the concert event with something for everyone and a must see this awards season. Red Carpet Memories will perform in The Coterie's home in the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel & Spa (right next door to the Kodak Theatre, home of this year's Oscars) on February 10-19th for six performances only.

Conceived, Directed and Arranged by Southern California native Alexander Georgakis, this event is a loving homage to The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the resonance the music they've recognized over the years still has in our lives. "What Alexander has done with this show is put together the type of entertainment experience I think people have really been waiting for here in Los Angeles." says Coterie Executive Producer Amber Cassell. "Growing up in LA, I've always felt the Oscars have been something to look forward to, a night when the entire city, maybe even the entire country, tunes in and you remember those moments. This music is unforgettable. Even if it was before your time, you know it instinctively. It's a part of us, and seeing and hearing it live, sung by some of the most incredible voices you'll be able to find, you fall in love with these songs all over again."
The cast includes six of the finest vocal talents Broadway, Television and the Los Angeles music scene have to offer. The performers are Recording Artist and Disneyland headliner Tomasina Abate, Los Angeles musical theatre favorite Jessica Bernard, Rogelio Douglas Jr. (star of Broadway's In the Heights, The Little Mermaid and "The Voice"), Recording Artist Lexi Lawson (star of RENT, In the Heights, and "American Idol"), Ovation Award-nominated composer and performer Brett Ryback, and Recording Artist and Broadway leading man James Snyder (Cry-Baby).
