GREAT SHOWS GIVING DISCOUNTS TO MEMBERS THROUGH MAY 17th


SPECIAL DISCOUNT ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR MEMBERS:


3 GREAT SHOWS GIVING DISCOUNTS TO MEMBERS THROUGH MAY 17th
$17 IN DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE



SUNDAY - MAY 9th - MOTHERS' DAY U.S.A.


NYC: TERESA FISCHER IS MISS CONGENIALITY
MEMBER DISCOUNT - $7 OFF THE COVER

Musical comedienne Teresa Fischer returns to DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788) on Sunday, May 9th at 4:00 pm with her new show: MISS CONGENIALITY. Showcasing a variety of musical styles from pop to Broadway to honky-tonk, MISS CONGENIALITY also boasts an original title song. Always entertaining, Ms.Fischer promises a fun show with musical direction by Paul Chamlin, special arrangements by Andrew Sotomayer, a delightful appearance by Frank Calo, and even some puppets. May 9th is Teresa's birthday and the only "presence" she asks for, is yours at the show. There is a $12 cover plus a 2-drink minimum. $5 cover for members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.

I saw this show earlier this week and it is truly a fun evening. Ms. Fischer is not a stand-up comic, but she is a humorist with great vocals and amazing accompanist Paul Chamlin's occasional droll commentary makes for a great show. The puppets? Not quite "Avenue Q" but very cleverly presented. STU

MONDAY - MAY 10th


NYC: "CAROLE J. BUFFORD SINGS RANDY NEWMAN"
MEMBER DISCOUNT - $5 OFF THE COVER

The critically acclaimed show "Carole J. Bufford sings Randy Newman" returns to DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788) for two encore performances, on Monday, May 10th at 7:00 pm and Sunday, May 30th at 5:00 pm. The show originally was presented as part of Lennie Watts' Under The Covers series earlier this year. Carole will pay tribute to one of the great American songwriters, Randy Newman, by covering his album "Lonely At The Top" with musical direction by Nate Buccieri. There is a $15 cover plus a 2-drink minimum. $10 cover for members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.

I saw this show when it was presented as part of Lennie Watt's UNDER THE COVER SERIES earlier this year - and I went especially because I had heard Ms. Bufford's spectacular vocals at THE TOWN HALL in a BROADWAY BY THE YEAR show. I don't always agree with Mr. Newman's take on things, but I do applaud Ms. Buford's take on Mr. Newman! Great show! STU

SATURDAY - MAY 15th


NYC: NANCY WITTER'S "TIMES SQUARES"
MEMBER DISCOUNT $5 OFF THE COVER

Award winning comic Nancy Witter is producing a show called "Times Squares" on Saturday, May 15th at 8:30 pm at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788). The special musical guest is TBA. The shows feature the very funny Michael Brill as host. For more information (and some very clever artwork and photos of the cast), see http://timesquaresnyc.com/There is a $15 cover plus a 2-drink minimum. $10 cover for members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.
Fun! Fun! Fun! That's what you must say about anything that Nancy Witter gets involved in! And when Michael Brill hosts a show, expect the unexpected! Its a comic parody of the TV Squares show without the censors. You get to see 10 comedy folks at once, improvising new comedy lines (sometimes improving old ones) in a free-for-all that is one part game show and two parts "can you top this!" STU
