After nearly three months off the stage, We are very proud to say that L.A.'s famed Upright Cabaret returns to Los Angeles with a brand spanking' new version of their "Revue" which will debut with a star-studded line-up of talent directed by Upright's new Artistic Director and Broadway/Recording star Billy Porter.

Inspired by their recent Upright Cabaret debut in New York City, producers Chris Isaacson and Shane Scheel along with Mr. Porter and Music Director Chris Bratten are setting out to raise the bar creatively and artistically by reshaping and re-tuning the much loved 'Revue' show and giving it new life.

Concert), Ben Goldberg, Lucas Grabeel (MILK, High School Musical 1 & 2), Krisolyn Lloyd (Reprise' Once On This Island), Tom Lowe(West End: Les Miserables, Cats), Audra Mae (singer/songwriter), Michele Maika Berg (Broadway: Les Miserables), Jennifer Malenke (Broadway: Into the Woods, High School Musica), Merrick McMahon, Emily Rossell, James Snyder (Broadway: Cry Baby), Haviland Stillwell (Broadway: Les Miserables, Fiddler on the Roof), Daniel Tatar (Ray Charles Live), Tracie Thoms (Broadway: Rent, Devil Wears Prada, Grindhouse, Cold Case) , Natalie Torro (Broadway: Les Miserables, A Tale of Two Cities) and many more!

From Perez Hilton to Variety, a flurry of media attention and sponsors has exploded, spinning cabaret into Hollywood's hippest social scene. Experience what Broadway World.com describes as "a playground for famous folk who happen to be musically inclined", BackStage West called "astonishing", and what Angeleno Magazine proclaimed "one of the Best Ways to Get Down after Sundown in L.A!"
