Feinstein's/54 Below continues their #54BelowAtHome series tonight with Tovah Feldshuh's 'Aging is Optional' show!

A few new additions have been added to #54BelowAtHome, a series of streamed performances to provide theater fans everywhere with artistic content from their favorite artists. The new shows include Lorna Luft, Tovah Feldshuh, and 54/54/54.

On Monday, March 30th, the 2020 MAC Awards were broadcast via Facebook Live from the living rooms or Lennie Watts and Amy Wolk/Lorinda Lisitza in a split-screen presentation in which The Three Stooges of Cabaret made their community of artists laugh with many hi-jinks, giggles, grins, silliness, and an ongoing series of the new MAC Award theme song, penned by Wolk and Lisitza themselves. The intent was to bring some levity to a difficult time in the world and, judging by the comment scroll during the home-made telecast, the hardworking trio tickled the funnybones of many. As names were announced, recipients called in to say a few words (apropos to the proceedings, Mr. Watts' telephone ringtone is the Benny Hill theme song) and particularly moving speeches from the proceedings came from Lisa Viggiano, Meg Flather, and Jeff Harnar. The entire show can be seen on Broadway World HERE. Results of the voting can be seen below.

With the Coronavirus stopping all social gatherings and causing the closing of Don't Tell Mama for the duration, MAC has made a change from the previously announced event which was to be held at the club.

The MAC Awards were scheduled to be celebrated on March 30th at Sony Hall. Instead they will be announced via Facebook Live from Lennie Watts' home. The times are a little different now, but the celebration of art is the same.

As the cabaret community reaches out to fans and friends through Live Streaming Events, Stephen Mosher continues to bring their Youtube videos to homebound fans who yearn for their favorites.

Artists around Manhattan are using social distancing as a perfect opportunity to create something new, something fun, something hopeful. Broadway World is here to bring their work to the fans.

The second in a series, The Pandemic Playlist provides social distancing cabaret fans an opportunity to get to know the performers and their work a little better, from the comfort of home.
