New York's cabaret community just came together to celebrate the legacy of its late great impresario Donald F. Smith in a free public concert. Donald F. Smith, Executive Director and Founder of The Mabel Mercer Foundation, passed away in March, 2012. He created the New York Cabaret Convention 27 years ago. For many years it was held at Town Hall, a building he was instrumental in preserving as a New York City landmark.
The concert featured some of Donald's favorite performers including Karen Akers, Christine Andreas, Ann Hampton Callaway, Barbara Carroll, Baby Jane Dexter, Michael Feinstein, Jeff Harnar, Andrea Marcovicci, Marilyn Maye, T. Oliver Reid, Steve Ross, Craig Rubano, Billy Stritch, Jennifer Sheehan, KT Sullivan and Ronny Whyte.
BroadwayWorld was there for the event, and brings you full photo coverage below.
