Bobby defines cabaret as (n) A wilful force of artistic expression, and Jack, for those who have not yet experienced him, is a cabaret force to be reckoned with.

Photographer Stewart Green has another great week at THE LINEUP WITH SUSIE MOSHER

The Mabel Mercer Foundation, led by KT Sullivan shows resilience as it evolves with the changing times and pandemic needs, presenting streaming and live performances for the 2021 Cabaret Convention.

TV icon, film actress, and Broadway star Marilu Henner may have been playing 54 Below last night, but the regulars of THE LINEUP got a fun preview on Tuesday.

MOVIE NITE was one great night of cabaret theater and it shows in all of Helane Blumfield's photos.

Who doesn't love the music of the movies? Well Ann Kittredge does and it shows in her latest show, a deep dive into decades of tunes from the flickers.

After an extended postponement, Kelli Rabke's much-anticipated show about tiny women with gargantuan voices has come into the light.

Susie Mosher's weekly variety show continues to provide stellar entertainment, and photo ops for Gene Reed.

Marcus Simeone is a singer of great range and much soul. He is fearless in going to very intimate, emotional places. He is also a born storyteller, creating vivid images with only a few words. Sean Harkness plays guitar like he made a deal with the devil. His fingers do things that should be impossible. He plays every inch of the instrument, not only the strings but the fingerboard, the frets, the bridge and he even uses the body of the guitar as percussion. The partnership between these two artists is so simpatico, it feels like one mind.

BIRDLAND THEATER will present Christina Bianco in her new show “A Lot to Unpack” on Friday, October 15 and Saturday, October 16 at 8:30 PM. Her bags are packed for London but before she leaves her hometown this globetrotting, genre-crossing, multi-voiced, multi-wig-wearing funny girl has some serious unpacking to do.

There's always a good surprise or two at THE LINEUP. The only surprise is how doggone good it is. See Stewart Green's photo essay of last week's show.

It was one of those nights in a club when everyone left the building with a smile on their face, a song in their heart, and oxytocin every damn where.

It's time to celebrate, as LIVE FROM SKYLIGHT RUN turns one-year-old with a special concert by founder Carole Demas.
