CABARET TONIGHT IN DC: FREDDY COLE QUARTET AT BLUES ALLEY

Cole doesn't apologize for sounding like his brother, Nat "King" Cole. There are certain unmistakable similarities. He plays piano and sings and performs live with guitar and upright bass, just like Nat. Yet his voice is raspier, smokier, jazzier even. But he has emerged from the awesome shadow cast by his elder brother. In truth, his phrasing is far closer to that of Frank Sinatra or Billie Holiday than that of his brother and his timing swings a little more. Cole's career continues to ascend as he has moved into the front ranks of America's homegrown art form with a style and musical sophistication all his own. Call for cover/minimum information.

CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: THE VAUDEVILLIANS WITH JINKX MONSOON

CABARET TONIGHT IN  NYC: THE VAUDEVILLIANS WITH JINKX MONSOON

RuPaul's Drag Race favorite Jinkx Monsoon makes her New York debut at THE WEST BANK CAFE/LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE (407 West 42nd Street, NYC - 212-695-6909) with the premiere of THE VAUDEVILLIANS, a musical comedy show co-starring composer and musician Richard Andriessen. Performances are scheduled for Tuesday, August 6th at 7:30 & 9:30 pm; Thursday, August 8th at 9:30 pm & 11:30 pm; Tuesday, August 13th at 7:30 & 9:30 pm; Thursday, August 15th at 9:30 pm & 11:30 pm; Tuesday, August 20th at 9:30 pm; Thursday, August 22nd at 7:30 pm & 9:30 pm; Tuesday, August 27th at 7:30 & 9:30 pm; Thursday, August 29th at 7:30 pm & 9:30 pm. Throughout the 1920's Kitty Witless and Dr.Dan Von Dandy toured speakeasies and burlesque theaters through the United States as THE VAUDEVILLIANS, wowing audiences with their edgy, original music. Unfortunately, one day, tragedy struck. While touring through Antarctica, they were victims of a devastating avalanche and were buried under two tons of sleet and snow - instantly freezing them alive. But thanks to global warming, they recently thawed out only to discover, that pop artists of various decades had stolen their music and passed it off as their own. Much to their shock and chagrin, songs including "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" (which was originally about the woman's Suffragette movement), and "Drop it Like it's Hot" (which was originally about the invention of the electric iron) had become hits for lesser artists. Now, at long last, they are taking to the stage to reclaim their original music, performing it as originally composed. Tickets available through web.ovationtix.com/ - plus there is a $15 food/drink minimum.
