Mauro. Accompanied by his dashing longtime musical director, Tom Judson, Charles combines hilarious personal reminiscence, character sketches and superb storytelling through song into one glittering and glamorous evening in cabaret.

Charles Busch premiered "The Lady at the Mic" in New York as part of the American Songbook Series at Jazz at Lincoln Center. The show pays tribute through song and personal reminiscence to five extraordinary and much missed women; Elaine Stritch, Polly Bergen, Mary Cleere Haran, Julie Wilson and Joan Rivers. Some of the songs included are Bill, A Parade in Town, Sail Away, I'm Old Fashioned, Too Many Mornings and Quiet, Please, There's A Lady Onstage. These fascinating ladies were all friends of mine and it's wonderful to be able to share my stories about them."
