BWW Interview: Max Friedman Talks Bringing Unique Spin to Cabaret with Charlie Rosen's Broadway Big Band
by Matt Tamanini
- Oct 7, 2015
It's approaching midnight. You walk down a narrow set of stairs into a dimly-lit, yet elegant space that is surprisingly more intimate than you imagined. The guys and dolls in the crowd are dressed to impress. You order a martini, dirty of course, and unwind as only New Yorkers can; with a Broadway star, fresh off an evening performance, crooning your favorite standards, backed by a collection of some of the city's best jazz musicians. This isn't a 40s era noir film, it is the vibe you get at a Charlie Rosen's Broadway Big Band show, one of the New York's most unique blends of traditional cabaret and modern Broadway.
