NYC: DON'T TELL MAMA CELEBRATES KAREN MASON ON MARCH 30th - FINAL SHOW OF MASON AT MAMA'S SERIES
DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788) will honor the Broadway and cabaret star Karen Mason on Monday, March 30th at 7:00 pm, the final performance of the legendary singer's current ten-show major engagement at the club. Mason, who, with the late great Nancy LaMott, opened the Theater District nightspot in November of 1982, also celebrates her own birthday on that night. Hugging the MARCH IS CABARET MONTH theme, "Mason at Mama's in March" began on March 1st and played the next three Sundays and Mondays: March 15th & 16th; 22nd & 23rd; 29th & 30th. All shows are at 7:00 pm. With music direction by Christopher Denny and stage direction by Barry Kleinbort, Mason's new show delves generously into a treasure trove of classics and original songs she and her longtime musical collaborator Brian Lasser worked on together. It was in a sense the infancy of a new era of cabaret, when genres and styles began to be mixed and the boundaries between cabaret and the theatre began to be blurred. Mason, whose Broadway starring credits include "Mamma Mia," "Sunset Boulevard," "Hairspray," and "Jerome Robbins' Broadway," most recently starred in Frank Wildhorn's "Wonderland." Her most recent single, "It's About Time" (honoring marriage equality), was written by her husband Paul Rolnick and Shelley Markham. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: NEXT NY'S TOP DRAG QUEEN CONTEST AT THE MET
Twelve NYC Drag Queens to fight it out on stage to be crowned 'NYC's Top Drag Queen' at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM(34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Monday, March 30th at 7:00 pm. The six-week juried affair, hosted by the Metropolitan Room, begins that date, and through sheer talent and hopefully not a cat fight, NY's Top Drag Queen will be crowned on the finale show on Monday, May 4th, when the series will come to its ultimate climax. The host the series for a second year is one of NYC's most famous Drag Queens, Holly Dae. Dae has been performing in NYC for the past seven years. She started her career back in Boston, and has since gone on to travel all over the US and European countries. Her quick tongue and witty comments have made her audiences laugh and cackle for years. Holly has won such awards as Entertainer of the year on Fire Island, Best Drag Queen by Get Out Magazine, Queen to Watch Out For in 2013 by Next Magazine, Best Drag show by The 2015 Glam Awards, First Runner Up at the National Miss'd America Pageant, and many more. Holly will keep these twelve vigorously pre-screened Drag Queens under control whilst they are judged by not only looks but by how well they sing and entertain. It will be a seemingly unending parade of new outfits, special guests, surprise guest judges and a mystery judge whose identity will only be revealed at the contests over-the-top finale. "New York's Next Top Drag Queen Contest" is produced by the Metropolitan Room and Joseph Macchia. The contest's permanent judges include Arsenio Amadas (Mr Eagle 2013), Frankie C. (columnist for Odyssey Magazine), and Macchia, the MAC and Bistro award-winning cabaret producer of "Cabaret Cares," "Broadway on 22nd Street" and "Boys Night Out." The mystery judge will remain "closeted" until the very end. There is a $16 cover plus a 2-drink minimum. CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE MEMBER EVENT
LOS ANGELES, CA: WESLA WHITFIELD & MIKE GREENSILL AT VICKYS OF SANTA FE
Wesla Whitfield & Mike Greensill will perform at VICKY'S OF SANTA FE (45-100 Club Drive, Indian Wells, CA - 760-345-9770) on Monday, March 30th at 8:00 pm and Tuesday, March 31st at 4:00 pm. Their show "Sing For Your Supper: Best of the Great American Songbook". Wesla Whitfield inhabits that indeterminate zone where jazz and cabaret meet. Trained in classical music and opera, Whitfield has toiled for more than three decades to become one of the most gifted performers breathing life into that exquisite body of Broadway tunes, movie songs and Hit Parade numbers known collectively as the Great American Songbook. In 2006 Wesla and Mike moved to St Helena in Napa Valley but still spends much of their time in New York and San Francisco, working such noted rooms as the Algonquin Oak Room, The Rrazz Room, The Metropolitan Room and Joe's Pub at New York's Public Theater, Wesla has also appeared in concert at NY Town Hall, Avery Fisher and Carnegie Hall. In 1996 Wesla had the honor to perform at the White House for Hillary Clinton. With her deft sense of time and uncanny ability to connect with the emotional truth in a lyric, the jazz world has had no qualms about embracing her as one of its own. Working with pianist/arranger Mike Greensill, the two released their 19th recording 'Message From the Man In The Moon' in December of 2007. There is an $80 cover that includes all tax, tip dinner & show. CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE MEMBER EVENTcopyright 2015 - See cabaret listings from all over the world at CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
