NEWLY FORMED CABARET HALL OF FAME TO HONOR THE WORLD'S GREATEST CABARET PERFORMERS

Joseph Macchia and Bernard Furshpan of THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) are excited to announce the formation of the CABARET HALL OF FAME (CHOF), to be celebrated with an Inaugural Induction Black Tie Gala on January 16th, 2016. The mission statement of the CHOF is: To heighten the awareness and the true meaning and purpose of a Cabaret venue and performance. To reach out to a larger audience for purposes of increasing Cabaret show-goer population, reinforce the beauty of live entertainment, and create and support livelihoods of performers, venues and all support people and business in the Cabaret community. To foster and nurture new generations of performers and audiences dedicated to the intimate art form of Cabaret. The CHOF was conceived by Macchia, a longtime cabaret producer and Assistant Booking Manager of the Metropolitan Room. Managing Partner/Owner Bernie Furshpan, who is the organizational mastermind behind January 2015's triumphant Guinness Book of World Records event (which broke the record for longest continuous Variety Show), agreed immediately. They envision a future venue that will eventually house history and artifacts of Cabaret performing, as well as host events including the annual inductions. In advance of that, one of the team's first orders of business is to seek and form an International Executive Committee composed of producers, club owners, press, performers and others whose mandate it will be to select iconic candidates from around the world, from whom they will choose the first honoree for the inaugural induction ceremony on January 16, 2016. A committee and timeline for nominations and announcements will be released in the near future.
