MORE "HERE & THERE" PART II
I don't know how Scott Siegel & Co. are able to put on a better show than the last every time in the current series of BROADWAY BY THE YEAR shows at THE TOWN HALL! Monday night's salute to the show of 1966 was an all-time spectacular. Of course, 1966 was the year of CABARET, MAME, SWEET CHARITE & I DO! I DO! (to name a few) so there were some truly memorable songs to present. And the cast this time out was another stellar grouping - including several that were great dancers as well as great singers! Once again, Ross Patterson's musical direction & arrangements and his "Little Big Band" gave the whole show an extra dimension. And Ross contributed another great part of the evening: his 9 year old son Mercer stole the show singing "My Best Girl" from MAME. Next show (and last of this year's 10th Anniversary Series of BROADWAY BY THE YEAR) will cover 21 years of Broadway - 21 performers, singing 21 songs from 21 shows, one from each year, 1990 to 2010! Tickets are on sale now! I wonder is Scott, in his introduction, that 1990 was the year that CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE began publishing?
We had 2 winners - a tie - in our recent MEMBERS ONLY 2010 MAC AWARDS PICK-THE-WINNERS contest - Gretchen Reinhagen (an actual MAC Award winner) and songwriter Bob Levy. I'm trying to figure out an inexpensive way to get their free CDs (3 each) to them and will contact them about this. A big thank you to all the members who took part! Next time we do something like this, I hope more of members will send in an entry - less than 100 of our nearly 400 members sent in entries. I'm working on our news MEMBERS ONLY contest - but waiting for more members to join/renew. We hold the events 4 or 5 times a year.
I've been working on a new CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE project for several months now - originally to kick of on March 1st with our MARCH IS CABARET MONTH promotion, but ran out of time and funds. Next attempt at "lift off" will be June 1st - stay tuned.
Here's what happens when you purchase an ad on CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE. Your ad or banner gets seen thousands of times a week, but there's more. Your event/CD gets a plug in every issue of the twice-weekly newsletter, sent to over 2,700 subscribers (and these are folks who actually subscribed, not a mailing list purchased to collected without their knowledge or consent). And if it's a show or other cabaret event, the item gets added to the CABARET LISTINGS section. Then, when the date (or dates) of the event comes up, it gets placed on the home (opening) page of the website, and promoted with a plug on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE BLOG. And items, when posted on the blog, get automatically plugged as well on TWITTER (currently about 250 followers on each of our TWITTER accounts)!
A two-week ad can be yours for as little as $50. And we just lowered our BANNER AD prices! No more premium on the first 2 weeks! That means a regular banner will now cost just $30 per week right from the start (before rebates and/or discounts) and will appear at random on all 6700 pages on the website! The only pages not displaying ads are in the "Cabaret Remembers" section. Check out all the prices/sizes/types of ads by clicking on the ADVERTISING INFO button at the top of every page - or simply click here:
By the way, we can have your banner or ad up and running in less than 48 hours! Faster if you send completed, sized artwork! All ads have a 2-week minimum.
By the way, by purchasing an ad, you not only promote your own show, but you help with the expenses of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE - which enable us to promote everyone's shows!
See a show or two this week! Visit our websites! Run a banner or sidebar ad! Join CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE for 2010-2011. Now - more than ever - cabaret (and CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE) needs your support. Every day, in every way, we're promoting cabaret!
