Fourteen classic cabaret songs from local thespian Darien Takle.
"This is a kind of musical autobiography in that the songs were performed at significant times in my life and career. They are show songs but I have chosen not to "belt them out" as big brassy show numbers but have modernized them and sung them the way I want." -DARIEN
"Edith Piaf; Eva Peron; Lotte Lenya; Maria von Trapp. Dorothy Gale; Cordelia; Lady MacBeth. If you ask Darien Takle about her career, she'll start telling stories about playing virtually every major female role in musical theatre and in Shakespeare, and quite a lot more besides. Not surprising for a woman who at the age of four played the starring role in an amateur production of Red Riding Hood, and who announced in Kindergarten that she was going to be an actress when she grew up.
In addition to her native New Zealand, Takle has worked in the theatre in England, Australia and Hawaii, acquiring a list of credits that include titles like Les Miserables, Into the Woods, The Elephant Man, Cabaret and Godspell. She has also appeared in short films, feature films and on television series in Australia and New Zealand, as well as her guest role as Xena's mother, Cyrene (a role that saw her take her first trip to America and appear at the Xena convention held in Pasadena, California on the 6th May 2001). This last year she made a CD called 'no Regrets', which she describes as a kind of "musical autobiography" including songs from her many roles."
