They say laughter is the best medicine, and Lynda Rodolitz doses you up good in her latest show LYNDA RODOLITZ MAKES ART. The former stand-up comic come cabaret performer’s impeccable comic timing and delivery was on display at Don’t Tell Mama Tuesday night for the third out of four performances of the show, which has been masterfully directed by Lennie Watts.
Justin Dylan Nastro wove his own kind of magic at Don’t Tell Mama on Saturday night with an eclectic mix of songs from standards to musicals (old and new) to pop hits of the 90s!
It is a brave artist indeed who tries to capture the complex nature of the career of Carly Simon. That is the task that Marnie Klar sets for herself in her show MARNIE KLAR SINGS CARLY SIMON, which had an encore performance Monday evening at Don’t Tell Mama. It is clear that Ms. Klar has great respect for Carly Simon and possesses a great deal of knowledge about how her songs came to be. Like Simon, she is quite a beauty and has a great dexterity with language. She also shares with Simon a wide emotional range.
After twenty-five years in cabaret and concert, Tanya Moberly will record an impressive forty-five songs in ambitious project honoring New York based songwriters.
TheatreSquared's holiday show "The Heart of Christmas: Songs and Stories of the Season" may be just what you need to get into the holiday spirit. A classic cabaret, the show features the talented Rob Sutton, his velvet vocals, Christmas songs -- both classic and contemporary -- and stage patter that hits all the notes, witty and droll to meaningful and nostalgic. The show's (and the singer's) perfect pitch are a result of Sutton's longstanding desire to create a cabaret show themed around his favorite holiday. He's been thinking about this for a while, he says.
