Steve & Eydie were dynamite, separately and together. A TOAST TO STEVE & EYDIE on March 18th was a superb salute to these singers, and a hell of a good show, thanks to performers David Lawrence (their son), Debbie Gravitte, and a giant orchestra.
Steve & Eydie were once dubbed 'Mr. and Mrs. Music' by a journalist of yore. Today's journalists --including BWW's reps -- got the 411 on the 3/18 concert that's a tribute to them with David Lawrence (their son) and Debbie Gravitte.

The Gay Uncle, Jeffrey Robert, is back at the Rendezvous with an illustrated twisty, turny journey through pills, sex, show business and the interconnectedness of us all. Jacqueline Susann's CLASSIC of Trash Literature is the starting point but we will be speeding along through a land filled with Ankhs, Judy Garland, Barbiturates, Dory Previn, Backstage Drama, Charles Manson, Breast Cancer, Poodles, Sharon Tate, Wig Fights, Russ Meyer, Patty Duke and so much more. Buy a cocktail, get some snacks and settle in for an evening of song, gossip, booze and dope. Think of it as a live CliffsNotes for the High School of ne'er-do-wells. The library is open.
Hell in a Handbag Productions is thrilled to kick-off 2017 with the announcement of its 15th season.

It took 30 years for Shawn Moninger, a Unity minister and longtime technical director with four MAC awards, to move out of the booth and onto the stage. His show Because I Can (which has been running monthly at the Metropolitan Room since last November) is more a one-man Off-Broadway comedy show than typical cabaret. Almost without exception, the opening of a cabaret show is the weakest. Performers tend to warm up around the third or fourth number. That was not the case at the February 27 show, or as Moniger put it, 'the Senior Citizen Happy Hour.'
A reboot of the 1967 classic THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS may be in the works at 20th Century Fox.
