I can't be the only theatregoer who found the tour of CABARET chilling. During an election year where fear mongering and racial intolerance are sitting center ring, the story of pre-Holocaust Germany seems especially relevant and cautionary. But that doesn't mean the musical, which just arrived at the Winspear Opear House, isn't equally thrilling and heartfelt.

As a world-famous singer/actor, ALAN CUMMING is the consummate chameleon. The Tony Award winner is believable as a political maverick (CBS-TV's The Good Wife), a pansexual pied piper, emcee flirt (Cabaret), a cartoon-character voice (The Smurfs ) or the all-knowing, affable host (PBS-TV's Masterpiece Mystery). But the Alan Cumming Playhouse Square fans will experience Dec. 4 at the Connor Palace (7:30 pm) offers up a raucous and emotional firestorm of wildly entertaining stories--from sassy to sentimental-paired with songs from such diverse artists as Noel Coward, Stephen Sondheim, Miley Cyrus and Adele.

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW - Broadway's Supper Club - just presented the return of BENJAMIN EAKELEY and his acclaimed solo concert debut, 'BROADWAY SWINGER,' on last night, May 9. When the show premiered to a sold-out house in January, Eakeley was praised for his 'bewitching stage presence' with 'decidedly sensual power and lush jazz vocals' by BroadwayWorld.com. Currently appearing on Broadway in She Loves Me, Eakeley and his four-piece jazz band reinterpret classic songs from the 1960s in a nightclub act that chronicles the American stage's evolution from conservative to carefree. 'BROADWAY SWINGER,' co-written byTim Murray (50 Shades: The Musical), is a groovy romp through the decade that gave us Oliver!, Cabaret, Hair and Promises, Promises. True to its name, this swingin' show examines shifting attitudes toward relationships and sex as it explores life, love and everything in between.
