Orlando Cabaret Festival Takes Mad Cow Theatre Stage, 4/29-5/15

By:

MAD COW THEATRE announces the return of an exciting signature event for Downtown Orlando - The Ninth Annual Orlando Cabaret Festival, Orlando's Home of the Great American Songbook. The Festival will feature cabaret artists and acts from Central Florida and beyond.

Mad Cow Theatre plays host to over 40 performances of jazz, pop, Broadway, comedy, and a few surprises will feature many of Central Florida's favorite artists along with artists from the New York Cabaret scene.

This year we are presenting three headliners representing the next generation of brilliant cabaret singers, and we want you to share in the excitement!

Jesse Nager, Artistic Director of The Broadway Boys returns to Orlando with Songs I Didn't Get To Sing. A veteran of several Broadway shows and National Tours, Jesse will sing all the best songs from these iconic shows - that belonged to other characters. Orlando Cabaret favorite Andrea Canny will join him as a special guest for all three performances, April 29 - May 1.

Singer, pianist and songwriter Tony DeSare has won critical and popular acclaim for his concert performances throughout the United States as well as in Australia, Japan and Hong Kong. His takes on classic standards and sophisticated original compositions have earned him a reputation as one of country's hottest young cabaret artists of our time. Tony joins us for four performances, May 5 - 8.

Identical twins, Will and Anthony Nunziata, dubbed "a dynamic duo with beautiful voices and charming personalities" are the final headliners of the 9th Annual Orlando Cabaret Festival. This brothers have traveled the country with their acclaimed duo cabaret act. The Nunziatas' charm and energetic stage presence combined with their tenor singing voices create a powerful and touching show for audiences of all ages. Will and Anthony will have four performances, May 12 - 15.
