2. The Medicine Show

Ken Hallers shows have been described as touching, hilarious, intimate, extremely funny, very personal, and tremendously entertaining. In his most daring cabaret yet, Ken uses the motif of a Medicine Show, where miracle cures are peddled and weaves songs as diverse as The Physician (Cole Porter), Someone to Fall Back on, (Jason Robert Brown), The Rainbow Connection (Williams/Ascher), Adelaides Lament (Frank Loesser), Holding to the Ground (William Finn), Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head (Bacharach/David), Pirellis Miracle Elixir (Stephen Sondheim), into a narrative of how becoming a doctor is only the first step toward becoming a healer.BEST ST.
