It was a treat to see Seth's Talent Showcase cabaret this Tuesday night at Midtown's Don't Tell Mama.

Award-winning off-Broadway composer/lyricist Seth Bisen-Hersh (Love Quirks) will present a Women Composer Cabaret featuring songs by Mary Rodgers, Lucy Simon and Jeanine Tesori on Tuesday, January 24th, 2023 at 7PM at renowned cabaret venue Don't Tell Mama.

After 15 years, Seth Bisen-Hersh will produce, emcee and accompany his 700th weekly showcase at renowned midtown cabaret venue Don't Tell Mama on Tuesday, October 25th, 2022 at 7PM.

Startup Productions has announced the casting for the premiere industry-only staged reading of Hooked, a new musical by Michal Ehrenreich.

After Lesli Margherita's sold-out “Broad” concert at Birdland last week, there was a wild, celebrity-filled, super-charged Cast Party! As usual, the weekly event, hosted by Jim Caruso (with Billy Stritch at the piano, Daniel Glass on drums and Steve Doyle on bass) took the words “open mic” to a new level. The entire cast of the Lincoln Center's Merchant of Venice showed up to cheer their stars Jonathan Pryce, Giles Terera and Stefan Adigbola in impromptu performances before heading to their run at Kennedy Center. Multi-million record-selling Victoria Shaw, her mother Carol Shaw, and daughter Ruby Locknar all performed. Soul Train Award winner Nicole Henry sang her heart out. World-class trumpet player Dominick Farinaccci dazzled the crowd. Folk-singing superstar Christine Lavin had the audience out of their seats and dancing. Hamilton Award-winning singer Avery Raquel showed off her jazz chops. And theater writer Phillip Boroff sang, then proposed marriage to his girlfriend. (She said yes!) Is it any wonder Cast Party is known as the “come what mayhem” of Manhattan showbiz events?
