Tony Award®nominated actor, playwright, and cabaret entertainerCharles Busch(The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife,Die, Mommie, Die,Psycho Beach Party) returns with a new show of songs written by Great American Songbook legend Johnny Mercer. A two-time MAC Award winner and Bistro Award honoree, Charles has created a unique place in the cabaret world as a sensitive musical interpreter and as a hilarious and touching teller of tales. With music direction byJono Mainelli, this evening will include some of Mercer’s most beloved songs, like “Moon River” and “On The Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe” alongside several lesser known Mercer gems. “Charles Busch is absolutely enchanting. As a singer, he gets to the heart of every lyric. As a raconteur, he tells the best stories. As an entertainer, he owns the stage.”–Cabaret Scenes Please note that all artists and acts are subject to change at any time.
