Talk about "jam-packed"! Today is the day when cabaret gridlock takes place here in NYC - and a 4th event has been added to the mix of "must see" shows all running between the 90-minutes of 6:00 to 7:30 pm. At 6:00 pm, in the shadow of the UNITED NATIONS building (if the sun was setting in the east and there were no other buildings in the way), cabaret will take place outdoors at TUDOR CITY GREENS PARK (enter at Tudor City Place between East 42nd and East 43rd Streets) where several major cabaret icons are performing at the complex' Tree Lighting Ceremony under the guidance of host Raissa Katonah Bennett. And across town at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 ) Seth Rudetsky's BROADWAY CHATTERBOX interviewee is Broadway Composer (think ANNIE) Charles Strouse. And at 6:30 pm in the other cabaret room at MAMA'S, Grace Cosgrove's GRACE NOTES - a singers' soiree - is happening - and they are taping the show for a CD with some of the top acts in town. Meantime, downtown Jamie deRoy at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) will be doing a sound check for her Jamie deRoy & friends HOLIDAY SHOW that will start at 7:30 pm! All four events are top-notch entertainment and very affordable (the tree lighting is free, and it looks like great weather with temps hitting 50 (f) today!). Details on all below. What's a cabaret lover to do?
