STERLING'S UPSTAIRS Finds New Home at THE FEDERAL, Debuts 4/1
After reigning since 2006 as the most critically acclaimed, award-winning supper club of its kind in the greater Los Angeles area, STERLING'S UPSTAIRS at Vitello's will close its doors in Studio City, CA on Sunday, March 18 following its final show headlined by Reba Buhr, co-star of Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA. Miss Buhr is also a host for the Disney Channel's popular 365 television series. The announcement became official today by producer Michael Sterling.
"After nearly six years of pouring sweat equity into STERLING'S UPSTAIRS at Vitello's, and welcoming thousands and thousands of guests who supported over 350 shows which featured some 400 performers singing the music of Broadway and the Great American Songbook... not to mention our stake in reinvigorating the art of cabaret and bringing back the total 'supper club experience' to the cultural landscape of Los Angeles... we simply outgrew the space on a technical and artistic level. It was time to move on," said Sterling. "As a result, we are thrilled to open STERLING'S UPSTAIRS AT THE FEDERAL on April 1st with our new, barely year old partner The Federal Bar and Restaurant, part of Knitting Factory Entertainment which showcases all genres of music, the performing arts, dancing, and stand-up comedy in various venues throughout the country."Musical Theatre Star Stephanie Wall (Gypsy/West Coast Ensemble Theatre Co.) headlines Beyond the Blonde on Sunday, April 15th; followed by celebrated film, TV, and musical theater composer Michele Brourman (Dangerous Beauty/Pasadena Playhouse) with special guest and cabaret sensation Pat Whiteman on Sunday, April 22nd in an evening to benefit Hope Net, an interfaith and community effort to eliminate hunger and homelessness in metro Los Angeles.
