Benefit Show at Don't Tell Mama Aids Award-Winning Cabaret Singer Amy Beth Williams Tonight
Last September, after appearing at the popular Manhattan open mic cabaret show, Salon, Bistro and MAC Award-winning singer Amy Beth Williams was struck by a car near her home in Brooklyn. Now an all-star roster of Williams' fellow cabaret performers and friends will stage a benefit show, Once In Love With Amy, at Don't Tell Mama tonight, January 21 at 7 pm, to help replace the funds Williams has lost during her extensive recovery.
The singer, who last spring and summers staged her highly praised cabaret show, Crazy to Love You, suffered two broken legs in the accident, leaving her unable to walk for more than three months. She has been on disability from her bartending job and unable to do her adjunct teaching at Wagner College on Staten Island.
Journalist and performer Kevin Scott Hall is producing and hosting the event, which will feature 2014 BroadwayWorld New York Cabaret Award nominees Raissa Katona Bennett and Adam Shapiro, along with Donna Elliott, Kenneth Gartman, Janice Hall, Tanya Holt, Laurie Krauz, Quincy Marr, Tanya Moberly, Sidney Myer, Vickie Phillips, Parker Scott, Fred Tessler, Kailey Winans, and Lauri Young & the Wagner College Theater Fans of Amy, along with a possible surprise guest. The evening's musical director is Daryl Kojak.
There is a $20 cover/2-drink minimum for the event. For reservations, call: 212-757-0788 after 4:00 pm. Don't Tell Mama is located at 343 West 46th Street in midtown Manhattan.
