The February 22nd episode of the live Variety Show THE LINEUP WITH Susie Mosher played last week, as the month winds up for the program. With March on the way, Ms. Mosher has her hands full as she continues to program guests new to the show and those who make regular appearances in the Birdland basement. As Susie works overtime to keep the lineup fresh and entertaining, Stewart Green doubles down on exquisite photographic images that document Mosher's industrious activity.

The weekly look at The Lineup arrives a little late but it arrives, nonetheless.

Lisa Dennett will return to Don't Tell Mama with I'll Say I Love You in a Song, a tribute show to Jim Croce. Directed my multiple MAC award winner Lennie Watts, with MAC, Bistro and Broadway World award winner Sean Harkness at her side providing musical direction this is a comforting show not to be missed.

If you think you have not heard guitarist Sean Harkness; think again. The Berklee-schooled Harkness has been one of the most prolific and in-demand players for the last decade (Kathleen Turner, Nona Hendryx, Tom Wopat, Lucie Arnaz, Leslie Uggams, and Christine Andreas).  

It's always a special night at THE LINEUP, so when Marilyn Maye drops by it is extra special.

... to be clear, Ms. Turner has approximately 5 really good notes, but the rest of them she sings with great distinction.

The return to live entertainment brought a lot of honesty and authenticity, and some singing actors who had a lot to say. This is the list of shows that rose, in some way, to a new level for audience member and cabaret journalist Stephen Mosher.
