Grosses for all the Broadway shows for the week ending 12/29/2013.

Last December, after I posted my list of the Best Cabaret Performers of 2012, I followed up my original 'listmania' with a column that served as a way to include some 'honorable mentions,' basically a recognition of other memorable shows and performances of songs that were striking, unique, and/or original that year. The column received a positive response so I thought I'd wheel it out again this year. So as the hours tick away on 2013 and we anticipate the coming of a new year, here is an addendum to the 2013 New York Cabaret Performers of the Year--a totally random list of 30 Honorable Mentions of the 'Best' and 'Most' in Cabaret for 2013 . . . mainly because I can and it's fun. Enjoy and Happy New Year!

In the world of Rock n' Roll photographers, there are few whose work with The Band and Bob Dylan, among others, is as extraordinary as Elliott Landy's. Brought into the fold of The Band during the recording of their first 2 records, Landy shot over 8,000 frames of film of The Band. Of these, only about 30 have been widely published. The photos, which evoke so many memories, have been in his studio, protected and cherished, for over forty years. All these years later, Landy still feels this is his best body of work from this period.
