The spotlight will return to Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater as The Mabel Mercer Foundation presents the 36th Annual New York Cabaret Convention, October 21–23, 2025. This year marks a milestone: 20 years of unforgettable performances in this grand, acoustically stunning venue. Curtain time is 6:00 PM nightly.
Hailed as the original and longest-running event of its kind, the New York Cabaret Convention is more than a showcase — it’s a glittering celebration of the Great American Songbook and the cabaret performers who carry its legacy forward, interpreting the music for a new generation. Each evening features a unique theme, brought to life by a vibrant mix of iconic artists and exciting new voices.
Tickets are priced from $25 to $100, with Premium Patron Seating available at $500 per evening, including prime orchestra seats and access to exclusive post-show artist receptions — all in support of the Foundation’s nonprofit mission. $10 rush tickets are available on concert day at the Jazz at Lincoln Center box office for students and Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs (MAC) members with valid ID — good for any available seat!
