SUMMARY:The Elliot Roth & Karen Mack Superfun Boston Holiday Thing!
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning NYC vocalists Karen Mack (54 Below Sings\, Wicked long before anyone famous was in it) and Elliot Roth (Our Sinatra\, A Christmas Carol at the Pearl Theatre) bring their acclaimed musical partnership—and some holiday swing—to Boston for their Club Café debut! \nThey’ll kick off the festive season with tunes both holiday & NOT-so-holiday\, from Bing Crosby to John Legend\, plus a few originals of their own. Known coast to coast for their great singing\, eclectic musical taste\, and easy onstage chemistry\, Elliot and Karen’s show celebrates the music\, madness\, and many spirits of the season with lots of humor\, hot topics like what failed at Thanksgiving\, and likely a few other surprises. Think of it as a well-deserved holiday happy hour—with great music\, plenty of laughs\, and no pressure to be on the Nice List.

SUMMARY:Jackie Draper: Legrand Legacy – Keep the Music Playing!
DESCRIPTION:Jackie Draper pays tribute to one of her favorite musical composers\, Michele Legrand\, Tuesday\, December 8 at 7:00 pm\, as part of Urban Stages Winter Rhythms. This show is inspired not only by her love of his music but also by her love of TV and movie themes\, for which Legrand wrote over 200 compositions. She has a love of languages\, so there will be songs sung in Legrand’s native tongue\, French\, and there will also be a dance number or two. Music Director: Gregory Toroian\, Bass: Skip Ward\, Drums: Ron Tierno\, Woodwinds: Robbyn Tongue\, Special Guest Artist/Dancer: Milo Saidl\, Director: Kimberly Vaughn. \nJackie Draper has performed twenty-two different solo cabaret shows in NYC at Don’t Tell Mama\, Danny’s Skylight Room\, and the Laurie Beechman Theatre\, her cabaret “home” for the past eighteen years – all with Gregory Toroian as Music Director and Arranger\, and all including dance. She has also participated in shows at 53 Above\, Metropolitan Room\, Pangea\, Triad Theater and Urban Stages. Jackie sings in English\, French\, Spanish\, Italian\, German\, and\, more recently\, Portuguese. Known for engaging in the “treasure hunt” of finding unique (and sometimes lesser-known) songs that resonate with her audience\, Jackie says\, “Every time I am blessed to be onstage—to tell a story\, to express moving music\, to blend with marvelous musicians\, to connect with individuals in the audience—is a miracle to me.”  \nThe award-winning Urban Stages Winter Rhythms music festival returns with “A Tribute To\,” shows saluting beloved artists\, genres\, and more\, December 2 -19. All proceeds support Urban Stages’ Outreach Program\, bringing more than 1\,000 free\, multilingual performances\, workshops\, and programs to libraries across all five boroughs of New York City.

SUMMARY:Ethan Mathias - Wait 'Til You See What's Next
DESCRIPTION:I’m so excited to share that I’m bringing back my solo cabaret show\, Wait ‘Til You See What’s Next\, for two encore performances at The Green Room 42! \n Saturday\, November 15 at 1:00 PM Tuesday\, December 8 at 7:00 PM \nAfter my debut of this show back in July\, I’m thrilled to bring it back with my wonderful collaborators\, Music Director Michael Lavine and Director Eric Michael Gillett. This show is a journey through the Great American Songbook and contemporary musical theatre\, from Sondheim and Handel to Maury Yeston and Jason Robert Brown\, and I can’t wait to share it again. \nI’m deeply grateful for the response the show received this summer: “A lodestar of cabaret hope.” — Marilyn Lester\, NiteLife Exchange “A rich baritone/tenor that at times recalls classic men of the Rialto.” — Randolph B. Eigenbrode\, Cabaret Scenes “The sky’s the limit with Ethan Mathias.” — Laurie Lawson\, ELJ “Believe the hype!” — Jed Ryan\, Lavender After Dark Stage and Cinema wrote that my age is quickly becoming “the least interesting thing about me” — it’s the artistry that matters\, and that means the world to hear. \nI would be so honored to have you join me for either of these performances. Thank you for your continued support\, and I can’t wait to share what’s next.
