Another great week for cabaret starts today - In addition to the fabulous NY Nightlife Awards at THE TOWN HALL tonight, Eric Michael Gillett is at the METROPOLITAN ROOM with the final performance of his fantastic "Best of My Love" show at 7:00 pm. Another great show at METROPOLITAN ROOM is the final performance of Morgan Sill's Johnny Mercer tribute - a personal tribute, not a biography. I told someone next to me when I was at the opening night that if every show was as good as Morgan's, every cabaret room would be filled every night of the week. Try to catch is before it closes.
Raissa Katonah Bennett and Don Rebic continue their Tuesday night Broadway Jazz on Broadway series at THE IRIDIUM ROOM on Tuesday, with shows at 8:30 & 10:30 pm. Their guests this month are Ann Harada (Ave. Q, Suessical), Rosemary Loar (Sunset Blvd.., Chess), Kirby Ward (Showboat, Crazy For You) and Chip Zien (Into The Woods, Falsettos). Truly a bargain show - such talent! And, of course, the iconic Annie Ross continues her weekly Tuesday night gig at 9:30 pm at the METROPOLITAN ROOM.
Steve Ross (an icon in his own right) is at THE ALGONQUIN OAK ROOM with the final week of his Alan J. Lerner tribute show and the marvelous super-icon Julie Wilson winds up her 2 week run at THE GARDENIA in Los Angeles this week as well.
Another tribute show - this time to Rodgers & Hammerstein - will be presented on Thursday night at 7:00 pm at THE LAURIE BEECHMAN by that dynamic duo of David Gurland and Brian Farley. It is one of those shows you will long remember - fun, funny, yet there is a depth that soon makes you realize that beneath the good humor and fun Brian and David's approach to this classic music is refreshing and moving. Go see!
Jennifer Wren's "Big Night Out" has moved to THE REPRISE ROOM AT DILLON'S - show is on Thursday at 9:00 pm and features Hector Coris as Featured Composer. Should be a terrific night spotlighting a terrific guy.
Details on all these shows can be found in the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE Diary/Datebook on the website
