What are YOU doing New Year's Eve? As the world prepares to celebrate New Year's Eve a bit differently this year, there are still plenty or ways to keep busy while you await the stroke of midnight.

Since 1978, West Bank Cafe has been one of the epicenters of New York City’s theatre community, and due to the pandemic, it is on the verge of permanently closing. With Broadway dark, tourism down, indoor dining closed, and no relief plan in sight, 2020 has created a plethora of financial problems for the beloved theater district institution. 

On Christmas Day 2020 a huge gathering of star-studded talent joins together in a virtual telethon to save a beloved show-business institution greatly in need of help.

There's just two short weeks left to vote for the 2020 BroadwayWorld Cabaret Awards! Voting will run through December 31. Winners will be announced in January!

Since 1978, West Bank Cafe has been one of the few authentic epcicenters of New York City's theatre community, and due to the pandemic, it is on the verge of permanently closing. With Broadway dark, tourism down, indoor dining closed, and no relief plan in sight, 2020 has created a plethora of financial problems for the beloved theater district institution. We don't want that to happen.  Enter the theatre community. It's called community for a reason.  

Quarantine Cabaret and Cocktails, produced and hosted by entertainer and LML Music founder, Lee Lessack, and actor and frequent SNL regular, Robert Bannon, made its debut during isolation on YouTube, and they have had nothing but star studded shows every week in the approximately hour long show, and the humor quotient has been very high, along with the music.

Hale Center Theatre’s A Christmas Carol (December 12), We Need A Little Christmas to benefit Shelter & Crisis at Christmas (December 18), Hip Hop Nutcracker (December 18 – January 10), Dickens’ Holiday Classic (December 19), Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker (December 19), and more will stream in December!

These performers cut their suits to fit their cloth and found out they had a new way to reach their fans.
