William Ryall in WHY CAN’T I WALK AWAY? My 34 Years On Broadway, The Good, The Bad & The Wicked
2025-01-27 19:00 - 20:30 | Chelsea Table + Stage, 152 W 26th St, New York, NY, 10001, United States
William Ryall is a veteran of 15 Broadway shows and his cabaret act entitled WHY CAN’T I WALK AWAY? My 34 Years On Broadway (The Good, The Bad, & The Wicked) is an evening of song and comedy chronicling his quest to work on The Great White Way with tales of the shows, stars, directors, he has worked with along the way. His journey includes incredible highs and devastating lows with a resume that ranges from the mega-hit WICKED to major flop THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE GOES PUBLIC and everything in between. With the persistence and fortitude needed to sustain a career in the theater he simultaneously charts the ups and downs of his personal life with stories of love, betrayal, and ultimately happiness. He includes excerpts from some of his favorite Broadway shows as well as one or two of the flops. TV audiences may know him as Mr. Hefty, the formidable butler to Lady Astor (Broadway star Donna Murphy) on the HBO Series THE GILDED AGE. Theater and Cabaret critics have described him as “…tall as Tommy Tune, as lantern jawed as Jack Palance, and as agile as Fred Astaire.” (Tampa Tribune) “…this is a man bursting with talent, who has burnished that talent till it fairly glows.” (Theatermania) “…he fills a stage with as much talent and pizazz as the place will hold.” (Cabaret Scenes) “…the proverbial bundle of talent…he’s dynamic about every aspect of his journey.” (Backstage) “William Ryall sings stirringly!” (Howard Kissel, NY Daily News

Eva Steinberg: All Blues
2025-01-30 19:00 - 20:00 | Pangea, 178 2nd Ave., New York, NY, United States
Eva Steinberg returns to Pangea in All Blues, an exploration of the blues and “blues adjacent” songs—songs that have a bluesy feel, are inspired by the blues, or talk about the blues, with particular focus on the work of Oscar Brown, Jr., Peggy Lee, and virtually unknown songs from movies. With musical director Gregory Toroian on piano, Skip Ward on bass, and David Silliman on drums, the show also features songs by Mel Torme, Ray Charles, Andre and Dory Previn, Django Reinhardt, and Dave Frishberg. Directed by Sue Matsuki.
“Steinberg’s voice is smooth, youthful, and amazingly unblemished…I believe that her voice could single handedly bring on world peace. She can really hit those notes…” ~ Jed Ryan, Lavender After Dark
Eva Steinberg has been singing all her life. In the 70s and 80s, she worked as an actress, performing in experimental theater and comedy improvisation. In the 80s, she began singing in cabarets and jazz venues and attended the O’Neal Cabaret & Performance Conference in its inaugural year. After a nearly 20-year hiatus, Steinberg returned to cabaret with her show Not Your Mama’s Peggy Lee, performed at Pangea in 2022. Of this show, Jed Ryan of Lavender After Dark said, “Eva Steinberg is indeed a gifted singer, and Musical Director Gregory Toroian’s new arrangements bring Lee’s iconic hits to a fourth dimension. Steinberg would have indeed made Ms. Lee proud.” Since her return to the stage, in addition to Pangea, Steinberg has performed at Urban Stages and the Triad.

Kati Neiheisel returns to Pangea in an encore of her new show featuring songs performed by Julie London, Billboard Magazine’s Female Artist of the Year in 1955, 1956 and 1957.
London was known for her smooth, smoky and sultry delivery of jazz-inspired tunes, many of which were written by her husband, jazz pianist Bobby Troup, best known for writing the song “(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66.” London and Troup are also known for starring together in Emergency!, a television series (1972-1979) produced by London’s first husband, Jack Webb, of Dragnet fame. Directed by Lina Koutrakos, with musical director Gregory Toroian on piano, Skip Ward on bass, and David Silliman on drums, London by Night also features songs written by Caroll Coates, Arthur Hamilton, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Willie Nelson, and more.
“Neiheisel brought her own style, so calm, so in charge, to this evening… Her finely-controlled vocals were a pleasure all by themselves. This is indeed a show worth celebrating.” ~ Bart Greenberg, NiteLife Exchange
London by Night premiered at Pangea on August 24th, followed by a performance on September 26th, which coincided with what would have been Julie London’s 98th birthday, and an October 18th performance which coincided with what would have been Bobby Troup’s 106th birthday.

MATTHEW MARTIN WARD, selected as one of the Top Cabaret Artists of 2024 by Jacqueline Parker of Times Square Chronicles, returns to Don’t Tell Mama on Thursdays, February 6 & March 13m at 7:00 PM!

After 50 years in the business, beloved Singer, Songwriter and Musical Director MATTHEW MARTIN WARD made his SOLO CABARET DEBUT at Don’t Tell Mama on September 14, followed by performances on October 13 and December 4. Matthew began playing the piano at 2½ years old, made local TV appearances in Milwaukee at 11, appeared with the Milwaukee Symphony at 13, and has been gigging non-stop since college.

“The afternoon invoked the golden days when talents such as Bobby Short and John Wallowitch held forth at the piano.” ~ Cabaret Scenes
“Ward’s distinctive wit was evident, with his deadpan comic delivery landing every time.” ~ BroadwayWorld

“…a satisfying show from a seasoned pro venturing into headlining as a solo vocalist. I applaud Ward’s adventurousness, as well as his gracious manner, and I hope this won’t be just a one-time thing.” ~ Bistro Bits

“Think John Wallowitch, Charles DeForest, Steve Ross et al. He’s a charmer with several tricks up his sleeve.” ~ Times Square Chronicles

Kati Neiheisel: Yesterday...Once More
2025-03-02 19:00 - 20:00 | Don’t Tell Mama, 343 West 46th St, New York, NY, 10036, United States
On Sunday, March 2, 2025, Kati Neiheisel celebrates Karen Carpenter on the 75th anniversary of her birth, with an encore performance of Yesterday…Once More, at Don’t Tell Mama. The show features songs written by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis, Hal David and Burt Bacharach, Paul Williams and Roger Nichols, Leon Russell and more! With musical direction and arrangements by Gregory Toroian and directed by Lina Koutrakos, the show premiered at Pangea on Friday, October 15, 2021, coinciding with Richard Carpenter’s 75th birthday.
Yesterday…Once More is a tribute to sibling duo, Karen and Richard Carpenter, and their musical legacy. Throughout the 1970s, the Carpenters topped the charts with songs of joy — and comfort. Five decades later, a global community of fans and singers of all ages are still inspired by their music, often posting their own renditions of Carpenters tunes on social media.
“Gratitude fills the air because Kati Neiheisel is more than equal to the task of representing the legacy of the Carpenters, and that of Karen herself.” ~ BroadwayWorld
