Norm Lewis and More Join HAMPTONS SUMMER SONGBOOK BY THE SEA Full 2026 Lineup
Billy Stritch, Ann Hampton Callaway, and Donna McKechnie headline the East Hampton cabaret series.
The "Hamptons Summer Songbook by the Sea" series returns to LTV Studios in East Hampton for 2026, bringing top-notch cabaret performers to the Hamptons for the third year in a row. Norm Lewis, the first Black actor to play the iconic role of "Phantom" in "Phantom of the Opera," kicks off the season on June 28.
"Welcome - we are looking forward to Summer 2026! LTV is the place to be," says Josh Gladstone, LTV's executive director. "Yes, we broadcast 24/7 on two public access, education, and government channels, as we have for 40+ years, plus YouTube on demand. But we're so much more: We're the off-off Broadway of the Hamptons, presenting so many surprises" in our intimate performance studio.
Following Norm Lewis, the cabaret series continues with marquee talent including returning favorites KT Sullivan and Mark Nadler; rising stars Maria Abous and Eric Yves Garcia; stage legends Ann Hampton Callaway and Tony Award winner Donna McKechnie; the "Songbook" debut of Klea Blackhurst and Billy Stritch, and many more. New this year, LTV is introducing a bottle service option for VIP ticketholders, courtesy of our sponsor BottleHampton.
The "Songbook" series is co-produced by Donna Rubin and Josh Gladstone. "I am really excited by the way the Hamptons Summer Songbook has grown," says Rubin, who is a veteran Broadway performer herself. "The cabaret community is growing here in the Hamptons. Everyone who has joined us tells us that they love the venue, and that we have created a cozy, intimate space.
On Tuesday, May 5, the Triad Theater in NYC will host a "Friendraiser" preview show, giving audiences a taste of what's to come in this summer's "Songbook" programming.
