This past Saturday night, I was finally able to catch Jeff Macauley's show 'It Was Me: The Lyrics of Norman Gimbel,' and found it to be one of the most charming cabaret shows-male or female-that I saw this year. Macauley doesn't possess a particularly powerful voice or a wide vocal range, but he has a smooth, endearing baritone that can occasionally hit tough tenor notes, and for this show he displayed a knack for offering interesting and humorous biographical anecdotes as if he were a smooth jazz FM deejay. Dapper and Mad Men-esque in a tight black suit and black bow tie, Macauley presented his show as if he was a classic 'lounge lizard,' but in the best sense of that term.

So many cabaret shows, so little time . . . to write reviews that is. During his almost two years as a cabaret reviewer, BroadwayWorld.com critic Stephen Hanks managed to do a pretty good job of writing critiques during a show's run or soon after the run ended. But this summer he just couldn't keep up. Finally, here are observations on 10 performances over the past two months.

Despite the fact that American's have been inviting composer Charles Fox into their homes for years via their television sets as the creator of many of the most recognizable theme songs in TV history (i.e. 'Happy Days,' 'Wonder Woman,' 'The Love Boat,' 'Love, American Style,' as well as 'Monday Night Football' and 'The Wide World of Sports,' to name only a few) and, in fact, is the only artist to have had 3 TV Songs in the top forty, the public seemed only to have a passing knowledge of this man and his contributions to our culture ... until now.
