Linda Kahn will return to the Laurie Beechman Theatre in her Jeff Harnar-helmed solo show debut SAY YES! for two dates in September and October.

Bad advertising couldn't keep away the crowds who knew what was really happening last night at Don't Tell Mama.

Sue Matsuki presents a look back at 38 years in the business but she has never looked or sounded better, so here's looking forward to another 38.

Next week, FEINSTEIN’S/54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club & Private Event Destination, presents some of the brightest stars from Broadway, cabaret, jazz, and beyond. To purchase tickets or for more information, visit www.54Below.com or call (646) 476-3551.

As Sue Matsuki prepares for her debut at 54 Below, she waxes poetic and practical about thirty-eight years in the business in this chat with Broadway World Cabaret's Stephen Mosher.

Vocalist Linda Kahn returns with her solo cabaret debut show, Say Yes! on Wednesday, May 25 at 7 PM at the Laurie Beechman Theatre. She will be accompanied by Music Director Christopher Denny on piano and Jay Leonhart on bass. Jeff Harnar directs.

Sue Matsuki makes her long-awaited debut at 54 Below with a retrospective of her thirty-eight year career.

Linda Kahn will return with her solo cabaret debut show, “Say Yes!” to the Laurie Beechman Theatre on Wednesday, May 25th at 7 pm. After well received performances at The Triad Theater last November and The Laurie Beechman Theatre in February, she is excited to keep the positivity going.

The Manhattan Association of Cabarets has announced the 2022 MAC Award nominees. The nominees were determined by votes cast by the active MAC membership, except for the song and recording categories, which were determined by special committees.

Urban Stages has announced its 13th annual awarding-winning cabaret series, Winter Rhythms, returning live to its 30th Street theater December 7th through December 19th and benefiting Urban Stages' Outreach, Arts in Education programs.

That's three performances down for Maria Corsaro, and one to go on December 9th. She and The Gregory Toroian Trio have really jazzed up Pangea.

Maria Corsaro has teamed up with the wonderful Sue Matsuki, who in her directing debut has fashioned a tight and clever new show that showcases Maria Corsaro’s dark, rich voice in a series of songs that started life as jazz instrumentals and had lyrics added to them later, sometimes decades later. The show, YOU TAUGHT MY HEART TO SING, had its premiere last Saturday at Pangea. I was lucky enough to be in the audience. Corsaro has a lovely voice and chose a very ambitious set of tunes that for the most part show her off to great advantage. Besides being a fine jazz artist, Corsaro is a woman with a very big heart that she loves to share with her audience.

Singer Susan Mack debuts her new solo show 'Music In The Air' at the Birdland Theater for the fall season.

Thanks to the successful vaccines and the re-opening of clubs and cabaret rooms, we are starting to see a slow return to the normality of gathering to hear the work of fellow artists. I was privileged to be at such a gathering this afternoon when I attended the PANGEA SUNDAY OPEN MIC & JAZZ BRUNCH. Jazz Brunch was created before the pandemic by multi-award-winning cabaret artist, Sue Matsuki and her awesome musical director and composer, Gregory Toroian. And it is back with a bang, playing to a sold-out house.

When the clubs began reopening, Matsuki and Toroian were ready to give the people what they want: music, music, music.

The new open mic brunch at Pangea is already proving to be a great idea from Sue Matsuki and Gregory Toroian, and it's only had two day!

Should we call it "Linda and Maria Explain it All?" They certainly do in their performance of "What the Hell is Cabaret?!", to be performed four times in the coming weeks at the Laurie Beechman Theatre on 42nd Street.
