By Larry Myers****Perhaps psychometry via a vintage, authentic Perry Como cardigan allowed Warren Schein to access Perry Como. At the Art House Theater, this Borsht Belt jokester/lounge crooner delighted us with “Catch a Falling Star,” “Prisoner of Love” and “Skylark,” reminding us that Como (honored with a Canonsburg, Pa. statue) was RCA’s 41-year bestseller. Schein’s “It Could Happen” and “Blue Moon” exhibited the slick Sylvia Syms-like system of song interpretation. This is cabaret time travel and I’d like to see Schein do the Phil Silver’s roles in Top Banana or Do-Re-Mi. For now, his “Isn’t It Romantic” and “I Remember You” will suffice.
