Matt Baker News

A lively group of interesting artists were on the roster for Susie Mosher's show last week, and Matt Baker's photos show just how lively.

This event takes place on July 24th

Photographer Matt Baker shares an exclusive look at The Lineup through his gorgeous lens.

Authors Julie Garnye and Michael Kostroff celebrated the release of their new book The Stage Actor’s Handbook at Drama Book Shop in New York City on Sunday, July 17. See photos from the event!

Photographer Matt Baker returns to Birdland Theater after two weeks of traveling, and just in the nick of time: it looks like Susie Mosher's show was in rare form.

The traditional gift for those celebrating a 19th Anniversary is bronze. Not surprisingly, no bronze was given during Jim Caruso’s Cast Party anniversary celebration, but the packed house was certainly entertained by performers with hearts of gold. Check out photos from the night here!

Susie Mosher presented an evening of great entertainment and her guest photographer Chris Ruetten documented it for Susie and for Broadway World Cabaret.

On June 21st, The Lineup moved up.... upstairs, that is. Matt Baker shows all the Birdland action on this special night with Susie & co. Check out the photos here. 

Singer/tapper Luke Hawkins brought an extraordinary evening of singing, dancing and laughter to the Birdland Theater on Monday, June 20.  The show was a love letter to these art forms, as Luke paid homage to the history of tap dance greats. Check out photos here!

For the past 18 years, Jim Caruso’s Cast Party has been the place to cheer Broadway, jazz and cabaret entertainers serving impromptu performances with the Cast Party Symphony Orchestra (Billy Stritch on piano, Steve Doyle on bass and Daniel Glass on drums). 

The legendary Birdland in NYC, home to Jim Caruso’s Cast Party was jam-packed with some of the best singers on the planet last night…also some unconventional entertainers. Check out photos below!

THE LINEUP WITH SUSIE MOSHER remains the weekly variety show smash and Matt Baker remains the photographic genius documenting the parade of talent.

The audience is robbed of their sense of security; blindsided by anticipation and fear. Thrilled and chilled yet enthralled in a nervous hope that the anxiety and build-up will soon break into yet another fright....gripped by the juxtaposed emotions of hope and fear.

Susie Mosher's latest episode of THE LINEUP brings all the star power.

Susie Mosher's ongoing Variety Series is having a great series of guests this month and photographer Matt Baker will be the lens in the room for a while, offering Broadway World Cabaret readers an exclusive look at his, Mosher's, and everyone else's artistry.

BIRDLAND THEATER will present acclaimed jazz vocalist Gabrielle Stravelli in a new monthlong Tuesday residency starting on May 31 at 5:30 PM. After Stravelli opens the series, each month the club will showcase a new artist. Stravelli – who has been compared to the legendary Ella Fitzgerald by the New York Times, hailing her “emotional intelligence,  easy-going confidence and impeccable taste” – will be joined by pianist Michael Kanan  and bassist Pat O’Leary. There is a $20 music charge. Birdland is located at 315 West 44th Street in New York.

Every single Monday for the past eighteen years, host Caruso, along with the Cast Party Symphony Orchestra led by Billy Stritch (Daniel Glass on drums and Steve Doyle on bass) hosts Jim Caruso’s Cast Party shining a spotlight on an awe-inspiring variety of talent.

Birdland presented singer/songwriter Wendy Moten in a very special concert on Monday, May 16.  Ms. Moten, best known for her remarkable run on “The Voice,” celebrated the songs of Richard Whiting, as well as pop standards by Janis Ian, Paul Simon, and an impromptu duet of “Bye Bye Blackbird” with Broadway’s Jessica Vosk.

Fresh off a sold out appearances at historical gay venues, The Duplex and Don't Tell Mama, New York City-based cabaret singer/actor Zoë Van Tieghem kicks off Pride month with her Birdland debut. Van Tieghem, accompanied by Matt Baker on piano, Paul Goldfinger on bass and Adam Ray on drums, brings her unique flair to the cabaret genre.

MAC nominee and Broadway World Award Winner, Becca Kidwell adds an additional performance of her highly praised show, TOGETHER INSIDE, on Friday, June 10th at 7pm at Don't Tell Mama in addition to her performance on Sunday, May 22nd at 4pm.
