Mark Nadler News

The first live standings have been announced for the 2022 BroadwayWorld San Francisco Awards! Nominations were reader-submitted and now our readers get to vote for their favorites.

Back by popular demand, Bistro, BroadwayWorld, and MAC Award winning artist, Lisa Viggiano will bring her new show, LISA VIGGIANO SINGS THE JANE OLIVOR SONGBOOK to the legendary Don't Tell Mama. Dates include November 27 at 6 pm, December 19 at 7 pm, and January 19 at 7 pm.

For three nights the Mabel Mercer Foundation presented their picks of artists for the 2022 Cabaret Convention at Rose Theater at Jazz At Lincoln Center.

What Lisa Viggiano has as a performer that was not apparent in Jane Olivor’s work is a wry and ironic sense of humor. When Viggiano allows her spirit to come front and center, the show she has created with director Mark Nadler really flies. However, for much of the performance, it feels as if Ms. Viggiano is attempting to constrain her own ebullient personality into the earnest, serious personality of Jane Olivor. I left the show wanting less Jane Olivor and more Lisa Viggiano. In short, Jane is cramping Lisa’s style.

It's back! -- three extraordinary nights of “live” songs, entertainers, and musicians – all in celebration of the 33rd annual New York Cabaret Convention, produced by The Mabel Mercer Foundation. 

Lisa Viggiano will play her new Jane Oliver-themed cabaret show in October at the Laurie Beechman Theatre.

Mark Nadler's HART'S DESIRE comes straight from the heart, and it's a work of art.

Back by popular demand! Bistro, BroadwayWorld, MAC, and Margaret Whiting Award winner Celia Berk returns to the Laurie Beechman Theatre in October to reprise On My Way To You: Improbable Stories That Inspired An Unlikely Path.

Cabaret icon Mark Nadler has an all-new show and an all-new concept that will open on Gay Pride and celebrate two gay legends of the past with a new trajectory for their art.

Cabaret performer and photographer Helane Blumfield returns to Don't Tell Mama and Bobby Peaco returns to Manhattan. As the days count down to opening night, Helane chats with Broadway World Cabaret about their new show.

Award-winning entertainer Mark Nadler (2015 Broadway World Editor's Choice Award for Entertainer of the Year) blew into town for a brief 4-performance run of his new show Hart's Desire, a very gay imagined collaboration between Moss Hart and Lorenz Hart had they not been closeted in the 1930's and 40's. Utilizing Moss' dialogue and Larry's lyrics, what's truly unique here is that Nadler assumes every role, a nimble quick change presentation.

Two pandemic postponements couldn't thwart The Mabel Mercer Foundation's centennial love letter to one of the world's preeminent singer/composer/lyricists of the twentieth century. It finally takes stage - twenty-four months later -- at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 3, at Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall: 'I Like Men' - Celebrating 102 Years of Miss Peggy Lee.
