Ariana Savalas a First-Class Flirt

Ariana Savalas knows how to please a guy.

You have two more weekends to catch this young, tall, pretty and vivacious and singer Aug. 24 and 25 and Aug. 31 and Sept 1 in the Royal Room Cabaret of the Colony Hotel, 155 Hammon Road, Palm Beach.

I know of what I speak because I saw Ms. Savalas perform opening night Aug. 17.

Ms. Savalas has a good sense of humor like her late father "Who loves ya baby" Telly. She was bemused to note the Colony had her billed as “just 22.” Not that age matters, Ariana is 25, which in Palm Beach is just a kid. However, she has musical tastes that date back to the 1920s. She set the mood with Cole Porter’s “I Get a Kick Out of You” from the 1934 Broadway musical, “Anything Goes.”

Backed by piano, electric and acoustic guitar, stand-up bass and delightful and durable drummer Julie Jacobs, Ariana livened up the party with a list of with a somewhat suggestive songs such as “Peel Me a Grape” and “Making Whoopie.” To boost the charge further, Ariana travels the room and pays attention to every man in the room, regardless of age or physical appearance.

Guys are susceptible to this kind of flattery, and I more than most. Yes Ariana, I would “Like to Swing on a Star.” Thanks for making me feel seven feet tall.

Tickets are $90 for dinner and show or $50 for show only. Call 561-659-8100.
