This unique "second-night only" event marks the return to cabaret of this multi-faceted artist. Back Stage referred to Marcus as "King of the power ballad!" and in his liner notes for Marcus' highly acclaimed debut CD, At Last, respected writer/critic and song expert Will Friedwald said of Marcus, "...his beautiful voice, his extremely wide range, his ability to switch effortlessly from baritone to tenor to falsetto ... and, likewise, his multi-generic ability to move between the worlds of pop, cabaret, theatre music, soul and even jazz ... The crucial factor is his intimate relationship with the songs he sings. Whatever he sings, he does it with complete sincerity!"

In writing about Everything Must Change in Cabaret Scenes Magazine, Peter Haas gushed, "Simeone's warmth and bright energy spilled over ... his throbbing tenor freer, more assured more expressive ..."
