BY EILEEN SHAPIRO CELEBRITY CORRESPONDENT Celebrated actresses and singers Jane Lynch and Kate Flannery will make their praised debut at the elegant Café Carlyle (35 East 76th Street, Manhattan) beginning September 11 to September 22 with Two Lost Souls. Jane Lynch is the two-time Emmywinning host of “Hollywood Game Night” and Emmy winner and Golden Globe victor for her portrayal of the devious gym teacher Sue Sylvester in “Glee.” Lynch began appearing in her own live concert tour “See Jane Sing” shortly after her Broadway debut in “Annie” in 2013. “See Jane Sing” also included Tim Davis and Kate Flannery, who is best known for her nine season role as Meredith the drunk on NBC’s “The Office.” Together they also recorded a holiday album, “A Swingin’ Little Christmas,” which charted on Billboard’s top 10. Lynch is currently appearing in “The Good Fight” on CBS and on Amazon’s “The Amazing Mrs. Maisel.” On August 26, she will be doing an hour-long special on NBC titled “Clear the Shelters,” a plea for animal rescue. The Café Carlyle originally opened in 1955 and is the opulent height of cabaret entertainment in a close, intimate setting. It has been featured in American Airlines’ in-flight magazine as one of the top-three music venues on the planet. For this performance, Lynch and Flannery will be doing a variety of songs from Broadway to music of the Swingin’ Sixties in their very own style, along with music director Tony Guerrero. Tickets for the show can be purchased online via Ticketweb, or at (212) 744-1600. I spoke with Lynch regarding her debut as well as her current endeavors.

You’ve been touring for a while with “See Jane Sing.” How will your debut at Café Carlyle vary from that? Well, it’s just Kate and myself, and we’re doing all new songs. We have a four-piece band as opposed to a five-piece band. We’re calling this show “Two Lost Souls.” “See Jane Sing” was kind of me in the driver’s seat, and after a certain amount of time I realized how stupid it was to not have Kate front and center with me. So in fact “See Jane Sing” is really “See Jane and Kate Sing.” So it’s just the two of us doing our thing. We don’t have Tim Davis doing this one. It’s going to be me and Kate in “Two Lost Souls.” Can you give me a sneak preview? It’s just one of those things. We won’t even really know what the show is until we actually do it. We’re rehearsing at this point. We’re doing “Two Lost Souls” from “Damn Yankees.” We’re going to do “The One Note Samba,” which is going to be hilarious. We’re doing “Bei Mir Bistu Shein,” the Yiddish version by the Barry sisters. We are going to do the “Hallelujah Chorus.” We’re all over the map. So it’s singing and comedy, and everyone is going to love it? Let’s hope so. We’re going to love it. I hope everybody else will enjoy the experience. How did you and Kate come to team up? I’ve known Kate for decades. We met in Chicago when we were both doing what we call non-equity theater. We were doing the comedy club stuff, and she and I found our way to doing duets a lot of the time. When we came down here to LA we continued with this sketch comedy. We got together with a lot of people, and we came from “The Real Live Brady Bunch”— that was our show that we first did together back in Chicago. We did sketch comedy here in LA, and then four years would pass, and we would do a duet for a charity event. Then at 54 Below I was asked to do four nights there.
