MaryJo Mundy's THE RIGHT TO CABARET A Monthly Residency to Begin at The Gardenia Supper Club MaryJo Mundy, the highly acclaimed and beloved cabaret singer and founder of the longest running open mic at the famed Gardenia, hosts a brand-new show that celebrates and fosters musical theatre/cabaret performers while also showcasing her own remarkable talent. On the third Saturday of every month Ms. Mundy (sometimes co-hosted by partners-in crime singer Alexis Gach and singer/songwriter/producer Hillary Rollins) throws a "cabaret party" on-stage at the Gardenia along with three guest performers.
Whenever possible, one of those guests will be an "emeritus" artist (someone with a long, established cabaret career who will sing but also share their wit and wisdom about a life in this specialized art form); one will be an "up and comer" (a new, young star-oftomorrow) and one will be a singer/songwriter whose original songs both contrast and compliment the classic cabaret/theatre songs presented by the rest of the line-up.
In addition, each show features "Sing by the Seat of Your Pants" - a single song slot where a surprise guest is chosen from the audience (out of a volunteer lottery) to come up and wow the crowd with their own moment in the spotlight. (Audience members interested in participating in lottery must sign-up before the start of the show and come prepared with charts for a choice of three different tunes in their key.)
But don't worry - if you don't win the lottery, or singing solo isn't your "thing" - all audience members will have a chance to belt their heart out, share the fun, and feel the community love for cabaret when the entire room ends each evening with a rousing Broadway sing-along!
The debut launch of this exciting, innovative new series is Saturday, November 16th and MaryJo's guests will be the gifted and hilarious Eric Seppala, the wry and brilliant Emmy-winning writer Tracy Newman, and the legendary star of Broadway and cabaret world-wide, Karen Morrow. Joining them will be Ross Kalling on piano and Jonathan Richards on bass.
Maryjo's current CD "The Fourth Confessional - The Songs of Laura Nyro" is available now at CD Baby.com and other digital outlets.
