Half Moon Theatre Presents a Sizzling Valentine's Day Cabaret at the CIA

Half Moon Theatre, the Hudson Valley's regional professional theatre company, continues to celebrate its 10th anniversary season in 2017. This Valentine's Day weekend two of Broadway's hottest stars deliver a dazzling showcase of love and romance through song. These two powerhouse vocalists will perform on Friday, February 10 and Saturday, February 11 at 7:30 p.m. at The Culinary Institute of America - Marriott Pavilion.

Currently performing in the acclaimed Broadway show Waitress, Olivia Phillip has also graced the London stage in shows such as The Book of Mormon and Ghost The Musical. Ms Phillip takes to the Half Moon stage this Valentines Day weekend in a tribute to love and romance with her powerful, sultry voice and electric stage presence. HMT's Managing Director Kristy Grimes recently announced, "We are thrilled that Olivia's castmate Max Crumm from the Broadway show Disaster! will be joining her for this very special Valentine's Day Cabaret weekend".

Theatre fans might remember Max from the Broadway revival of Grease, after winning NBC's talent search competition, Grease: You're the One That I Want!, when he starred as Danny Zuko opposite Laura Osnes as Sandy. Olivia and Max will be performing a variety of pop songs, standards and musical theatre numbers at HMT's Valentine's Day Cabaret.

A decadent dinner prepared by CIA chefs will accompany the performances. The dinner will include: Asparagus and red romaine hearts with preserved lemon vinaigrette and Sprout Creek toussaint; herb crusted filet of beef with horseradish whipped potatoes, wilted spinach, wild mushroom port wine jus; flourless chocolate cake drizzled with champagne raspberry sauce and Ronnybrook Farms crème fraiche. A vegetarian option is also available.

Tickets are available in advance for $90 per person. Visit www.halfmoontheatre.org for more information and to purchase.
