The Manhattan Association of Cabarets (MAC) is pleased to announce names of our 2018 MAC Award Songwriting nominees.

NYC favorites THOSE GIRLS are springing into Spring with a series of acoustic sets at the lovely downtown supper club & music room Pangea starting March 14th at 7pm. Last year's launch of this 'Unplugged' show was a nominee for a Broadway World Award for Best Special Event (which they lost to Glenn Close, but totally saw it coming.)

Singer Angela Leone is rebooting her exciting cabaret show of standards old and new in 'All My Tomorrows' at New York City's iconic venue, Don't Tell Mama (343 West 46th Street) at 4 PM on Saturday, March 10. Leone possesses a rich, mellow alto, conjuring images of a fabulous port wine or a dark, sumptuous chocolate. With her musicality firmly rooted in the pop-jazz world, there's a reason she's often been called the 'female Tony Bennett.' 

The Manhattan Association of Cabarets (MAC) is pleased to announce the 2018 MAC Award nominees. The nominees, in a majority of the categories, were determined by votes cast by the active MAC membership. The MAC Board of Directors selected the nominees for Show of the Year. Special committees selected the nominees in the Ensemble Instrumentalist, Piano Bar Instrumentalist, Piano Bar Singing Entertainer (Female; Male), Recording (LaMott Friedman), Major Recording, Song and Comedy/Novelty Song categories. The names of the songwriters in the Song and Comedy/Novelty Song categories are being withheld during the voting period, but will be announced publicly as soon as the voting period concludes.

The quirky yet glorious score is by legendary singer/songwriter Harry Nilsson ('Everybody's Talkin') and features the beloved tune,'He Needs Me'.  With musical directors Karen Dryer, Ben McNaboe and very special guest stars Jay Rogers and Lennie Watts it's a fun-filled, joyous evening not to be missed.

He may turn out to be that dashing high roller of your dreams or a cheating low life cad, but according to Robin Kradles, a woman or a drag queen must always take another chance on love. In Robin's new show, Gambling On Love, laugh your way from love and lust to love that's lost and back again.
