Canadian pop and country singer k.d. lang took over the role originated by Fantasia Barrino in the exuberant Broadway revue After Midnight this week. Channeling Tony Bennett, who came by the Brooks Atkinson Theater to hear her on opening night, lang performed “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love,” “Stormy Weather,” “On the Sunny Side of the Street,” and “Zaz Zuh Zaz” wearing different tuxes, in black and white, her hair slicked up. Yes, with the orchestra onstage under Wynton Marsalis’ direction —you are not going to hear a better big band sound anywhere in New York, and the dancing still wildly entertaining–, lang does not disappoint. She is the crooner whose debonair jazz style marks a new level in her career
