RING THEM BELLS - SAVE THEM SHOWS!

Just a quick note about a two cabaret problems that you can each help correct by making a simple phone call.

I was at a show last night and fully half the audience arrived without reservations. The staff was not prepared, people had to be reseated to make room for parties of 6 and 8, the show went up late, and it took some time to settle the room down to start the show.

At the same time, I received notes from 3 performers, with shows this week, who had been notified by management that they had only a few reservations in the books, and unless they received at least 20 reservations, their shows would be cancelled. (They still have to pay a room fee or lose their deposit, and probably the musicians would also need payment.) These performers regularly get over 50 at their shows, but many of their fans choose to arrive without a reservation.

So, if you plan on seeing a show - and even not quite sure you will make it - phone in your reservations immediately so the "show can go on" and the venue can be prepared with enough wait staff to serve the room sufficiently.
