The multiple Emmy-Award winning Bruce Vilanch has been announced as the host of the 8th Annual Nightlife Awards to be held at THE TOWN HALL (123 West 43rd Street, NYC - 212-997-1929 - ) on Monday, January 25th at 7:00 pm. The unique All-Performance Awards show honors the most outstanding performers in the categories of Cabaret, Comedy and Jazz in the clubs of New York. The show is produced by Scott Siegel, directed by Scott Thompson, with musical direction by Tedd Firth. This broad-based, critic-driven awards concert has the distinction of being the only awards show where the winners do not make acceptance speeches. Vilanch, who has starred on Broadway in Hairspray, on TV as the center square in Hollywood Squares, has the reputation of being one of the funniest men in Hollywood from his many years of scripting The Oscars on TV. In the past, the show has featured performances by the likes of Brian Stokes Mitchell, Keith Carradine, Karen Akers, Larry Gatlin, Freddy Cole, Donna Murphy, the late Alan King, Elaine Stritch, John Pizzarelli & Jessicca Molaskey, Kristen Chenoweth, Keely Smith, Marilyn Maye, Robert Klein, Christine Ebersole & Billy Stritch, Betty Buckley, etc. Tickets are on sale right now via TicketMaster at 212-307-4100, and TicketMaster.com.: $75 for orchestra and loge seats, $50 for the front balcony, and $25 for the rear balcony.
