The Vaudevillians returns to NYC on Thursday, June 11th at 7:00 pm at THE WEST BANK CAFE/LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE(407 West 42nd Street, NYC - 212-695-6909) This is the original hit show that introduced Kitty Witless and Dr. Dan von Dandy atarting in 2013. The follow-up show, The Vaudevillians: Bringing Up Baby is also playing in rotation at The Beechman! 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. Now, at long last, they are taking to the stage to reclaim their songs, performing their music as originally composed. The Vaudevillians stars RuPaul's Drag Race sensation Jinkx Monsoon as "Kitty Witless" and acclaimed composer and musician Major Scales as Dr.Dan Von Dandy. There is a $25-$50 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum.

NYC: THE CUTTING ROOM PRESENTS: AMY & WILLIE K REUNION
When culture, passion, talent, and knowhow are combined, it results in a refined symbiosis created by two talented, cultured and passionate individuals. Amy Hanaiali'i and Willie K have come together to make great music at THE CUTTING ROOM (44 East 32nd Street, NYC - 212-691-1900) on Thursday, June 11th at 7:30 pm. Picking up where they left off a decade ago, these two keenly talented artists combined their love for music, for writing and for their homeland to express their mutual growth in this album. When the duo made the decision to travel their own paths 10 years ago, neither Amy nor Willie K could have foreseen a reunion of this magnitude. The time spent as individual artists have helped to grow their talents as individuals, produce new albums, work on various community causes and raise their families. The hiatus has caused a heightened sense of maturity in their craft for both artists and it is evident in their soon to be released compilation album. There is a $30 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum.
NYC: MICHELE LEE: NOBODY DOES IT LIKE ME
Following her acclaimed 54 BELOW (254 West 54th Street, NYC - 646-476-3551) debut in 2014, this all-new show finds the stunning Michele Lee making a rare appearance in New York for three nights only, on Thursday through Saturday, June 11th through 13th at 7:00 pm. Ms. Lee's new concert spotlights the music of the legendary Cy Coleman, including songs like "Nobody Does it Like Me" and "It's Not Where You Start" from her Tony-nominated performance in the musical Seesaw, along with other magnificent work and some surprises from Coleman's songbook. In celebration of Coleman's life and music, Michele's shows will coincide with what would have been his 86th birthday. One highlight of the new show will be Michele's interpretation of Broadway's lead female character found in many Coleman musicals. Using a medley of his compositions including "Big Spender", "Rules of the Road", "I've Got Your Number" and "I'm Gonna Laugh You Right Out Of My Life", Ms. Lee presents, "a loveable woman with a charitable heart." The show will also feature Coleman favorites "The Best Is Yet To Come," "Witchcraft" and others, from Sweet Charity to City of Angels and beyond. A multiple Emmy and Tony-nominated actor, Michele Lee starred in CBS's Knots Landing, as well as the Broadway blockbusters How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Seesaw, and Tale of the Allergist's Wife. Michele is the consummate "knock 'em dead" entertainer who enthralls audiences, from stories that tickle the funny-bone to ballads that cut deep into the soul. With a brilliant quintet led by Musical Director extraordinaire, Ron Abel, Ms. Lee's engagement at 54 Below, in celebration of Cy Coleman's birthday, will be a fantastic night of flat out fun and stories for the ages.
