Ashley Wool in The Broadway Era
2025-07-28 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | The Laurie Beechman Theatre/West Bank Cafe, 407 West 42nd St, New York, NY, 10036, United States
Sometimes you have to break your own rules to find your true voice–and change the game forever.
In her one-of-a-kind cabaret coming to the Laurie Beechman Theatre on July 28, The Broadway Era, Ashley Wool shares humorous and heartfelt stories from her unconventional journey to Broadway as one of the original cast members of How to Dance in Ohio, a joyful and groundbreaking musical that marked a watershed moment for neurodiverse representation in the media.
In 2008, Ashley Wool received the gift of a lifetime that she absolutely did not want: an autism diagnosis.
Deep in denial and horrified of what the label of “autistic” would mean for her chances at an acting career–or any career, for that matter–she decided she could never talk about it publicly if she wanted to make it in showbiz.
But when the pandemic hit—and suddenly there was no showbiz—she began exploring and sharing the pieces of her identity that she had refused to acknowledge, and realized she had a lot more to say. After penning a viral op-ed on autistic representation in a certain film, she quickly became one of the most highly sought-after voices for autistic self-advocacy in the entertainment industry.
Turns out, there were even bigger plans in store for her artistry and her advocacy once showbiz returned–and what happened next would make her fall deeper in love with musical theatre and the Broadway community than she ever dreamed possible.
Directed by Joe Langworth with musical direction by David John Madore, The Broadway Era is a musical celebration of the connections, communities, and changes that become possible when we find the courage to live authentically.

Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano in Hirschfeld’s Broadway: Songs and Stories
2025-07-26 19:30 - 20:30 | LTV Studios, 75 Industrial Road, Wainscott, NY, 11975, United States
HAMPTONS SUMMER SONGBOOK BY THE SEA presents ERIC COMSTOCK and BARBARA FASANO in HIRSCHFELD’S BROADWAY, Saturday, July 26, 7:30 PM, hosted by DAVID LEOPOLD.

Al Hirschfeld has been synonymous with Broadway since his first theatre drawing appeared in 1926. For 76 years, his work was as much a part of a Broadway show as its opening night. David Leopold, creative director of the Al Hirschfeld Foundation, teams up with cabaret stars Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano (“cabaret caviar” – The New York Times / “expert musicianship and joie de vivre in equal measure” – The New Yorker) for a unique evening of songs and stories that highlight Hirschfeld’s contribution to the American Theatre. See nine decades on Broadway including Oklahoma!, West Side Story, Hello Dolly!, Fiddler on the Roof, Funny Girl, Sweeney Todd, and Chicago through the eyes and the pen of “The Line King.” You will also learn how and why Hirschfeld began to hide his daughter’s name, NINA, in all his drawings, and the “national insanity” that ensued. Comstock and Fasano’s musical performance combined with Leopold’s stories will make the Golden Age of Broadway come alive with a hip, modern sensibility.

Miss Otis Regrets
2025-07-20 19:00 - 20:00 | Pangea, 178 2nd Ave., New York, NY, United States
“Miss Otis Regrets” is a genre-defying solo cabaret show that blends vintage radio drama, queer coming-of-age memoir, American socio-political history, and classic cabaret with sardonic wit and pathos. Framed by the haunting lyrics of Cole Porter’s “Miss Otis Regrets,” the show begins as a fictionalized 1950s radio broadcast detailing the life of Carl Otis, a sensitive young man navigating the dangers of queer desire in mid-century America. As Carl’s story unfolds—culminating in his exposure, public shame, and isolation—the narrative seamlessly shifts to the autobiographical journey of performer Francis Garner.

With musical interludes ranging from Arthur Schwartz to Sara Bareilles to M.C. Hammer, Francis parallels Carl’s repression and marginalization with his own queer youth in the 1990s and 2000s, tracing a path from closeted adolescent opera prodigy to disillusioned adult seeking authenticity. Wry commercial parodies and historical references (Eisenhower’s Executive Order 10450, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the AIDS crisis) lend political and cultural context, while candid monologues and powerful musical numbers bring emotional immediacy. The show culminates in a celebration of self-acceptance and resilience, underscored by a defiantly hopeful rendition of “Defying Gravity.”

“The artist has a voice whose obvious power is selectively employed and deftly controlled, nuanced theatrical chops, a sense of playful, sometimes sexy fun, and style…Oh, and the lady can moooove.” ~ Alix Cohen, Woman Around Town
A 2025 MAC Hanson Award Winner, Diane D’Angelo has appeared on cabaret stages from coast to coast and around the world. In NYC, she has performed at Arci’s Place, Laurie Beechman Theatre, Don’t Tell Mama, the FireBird, The Green Room 42, Judy’s Chelsea, and the Waldorf Astoria.

As a soloist, D’Angelo has sung the comic operas of Gilbert & Sullivan with the Lamplighters Music Theatre and the San Diego Comic Opera. She has performed at prestigious events such as the World Expo in Shanghai, enchanted audiences on the Greek island of Mykonos, and captivated festival goers at Burning Man with her role in the original opera, The Daughters of Ishtar, creating the role of Ishtar, the Goddess of Love.

MAC VIRTUAL OPEN MIC on zoom
2025-07-15 19:00 - 20:30 | Online
Sing with us from your own home! Join us for MAC’s VIRTUAL Open Mic on zoom – Tuesday July 15 @ 7pm.

Email us at: CabaretMACnyc@gmail.com to RSVP and get the zoom link.

You may either accompany yourself on your own musical instrument, or sing along to your pre-recorded music track of your choice.

If singing to a track, it works best if you have two devices – a laptop or tablet to connect to the zoom, and a separate device such as your cell phone that has your music track on it so you can play the track and sing along to it that night. (We find having the separate device to play the track works best — if you try to play the track on the same device you use to connect to the zoom, the audio and video don’t always sync up correctly.)

Hope you can join us!

Lee Roy Reams: Me and Betty

HAMPTONS SUMMER SONGBOOK BY THE SEA presents LEE ROY REAMS in ME and BETTY, Friday, JULY 11 at 7:30 PM! Musical director ALEX RYBECK on piano!!

Broadway’s beloved LEE ROY REAMS reminisces in story and song about his up-close-and-personal relationship with stage and screen legend LAUREN BACALL. He knew, worked with, and loved Bacall. But she was still Betty Joan Perske from the Bronx when they were alone. Now the star-studded inside scoop!
“Actor, singer, dancer, choreographer, director, and risqué Scheherazade, Lee Roy Reams is the Zelig of musical theater,” summed up Alix Cohen for theaterlife.com. Kentucky-born, openly gay, a Tony-nominated star of the original 42nd Street, Reams was the first male actor to play openly gay in a Broadway musical, Applause, starring Bacall. He was also the first American male to play the title role in a production of Hello, Dolly! A cowboy in Oklahoma!, an Olympic athlete in Lorelei, and a candelabra in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. He wore $10,000 dresses in La Cage aux Folles, Victor/Victoria, and The Producers. His TV, concert & cabaret appearances have taken him worldwide and four times to the White House.

Far Away Places
2025-07-04 18:00 - 19:00 | Josephine’s at Club Cafe, 209 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
“What good is sitting alone in your room?” Come and join KT SULLIVAN at Josephine’s in her show FAR AWAY PLACES , which she performed in May at Crazy Coqs in London. Ms. Sullivan was described by The New York Times as “whipped cream atop a surprisingly nutritious dessert” and “as sophisticated as contemporary cabaret performers get” by The New Yorker , so “Come to the Cabaret”.
KT SULLIVAN starred with Steve Ross in The Irish Rep’s sold-out run of “Love, Noël” in the summer of 2019 and the production was then filmed at The Players in 2020. In 2022, KT began singing and playing every Tuesday in the lobby of The Algonquin Hotel and has been extended through 2024. In 2012 KT was named artistic director of The Mabel Mercer Foundation, which produces the annual Cabaret Conventions at Lincoln Center. She starred in the Broadway revival of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and
headlined for almost two decades in The Oak Room of The Algonquin Hotel. One of the shows she created there, “Rhyme, Women, and Song” was presented on PBS’ WNET 13 and her award winning Sondheim show with Jeff Harnar was filmed for PBS from the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. Besides regular appearances in such New York venues as The Laurie Beechman Theatre, BIRDLAND, 54 Below, and Café Sabarsky, she stars annually at The Pheasantry in London, and has been showcased at Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, Spoleto Festival, Chichester Festival, CLUB RaYé in Paris, and Adelaide Festival in Australia. She guest starred on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion and was star vocalist on two tours of China with Manhattan Symphonie. She was twice named one of the Top 100 Irish Americans by Irish America Magazine and was married for 22 years to Stephen Downey, president of The New York Browning Society.
Josephine’s – where Boston’s best professional performers, theater companies and tomorrow’s rising stars singing Jazz, Broadway and madcap cabaret! Dinner seating starts at 5:00pm and the one hour show begins at 7:00pm. Reservations are strongly recommended.

Refuge in Release
2025-07-01 18:30 - 19:30 | Josephine’s at Club Cafe, 209 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
REFUGE IN RELEASE
Vocalists Hayley Thompson-King and Cassie Kollman present a night of cabaret featuring their unique twists on music by Kurt Weill, Frank Loesser, Burt Bacharach, Duke Ellington, and more. Thompson-King and Kollman along with their collaborative pianist JJ Thomchick opine and improvise on love, lust, marriage, refuge, and relations.
HAYLEY THOMPSON-KING – “A voice that could do anything doing just what it wants.” declares Americana UK. Hayley Thompson-King’s diverse career has encompassed opera, rock, and theatre performance, songwriting, recording, touring, stage directing, and teaching. Her expressivity in both singing and songwriting have been recognized as “jaw-dropping exposition that celebrates the entire cannon of rock and roll’s energy” (Paste Magazine) and “an explosive display of vocal prowess” (PopMatters). Hayley’s 2020 album Sororicide was produced by Sean Slade (Radiohead, Hole, Lou Reed). With Slade’s mentorship and direction, Sororicide accommodates garage rock and Americana while also weaving a thread back to composers from the classical realm who have influenced her work. In its review of the album, Newsweek observes, “in the vein of alt-classical song cycles and rock concept albums, her new work layers wide-reaching sonics with palpable psychodrama. At its core is the battle between an artist and the voice inside her head.” In her most recent project, Hayley returns to the stage presenting a cabaret piece entitled She Contains Multitudes. Inspired by America’s former role as a place for minds and bodies to find shelter, she explores the theme of refuge through original arrangements and improvisations on the music of Kurt Weill, John Cage, and Peter Gabriel, as well as her original music.
CASSIE KOLLMAN is a contemporary vocalist, songwriter, and bandleader who possesses an informed command of her craft and performs a wide range of musical genres, mostly those rooted in Black American traditions; including jazz, r&b, blues, indie, pop, and rock. Her specialization is vocal improvisation. Cassie released her debut album, Lady in Shoes, in 2021; an eclectic mix of groove-based, richly-textured, and imaginative original compositions and collaborations. Cassie’s songwriting is introspective, personal, and emotionally nuanced. An agile vocalist and deep listener, Cassie creates compositions and arrangements that are vocally ambitious, harmonically intricate, and lyrically exploratory. The result is a soulful experience of jazz-pop music. Cassie performs regularly as a soloist, and manages several ensembles in the Boston area. As a cross-genre vocalist, Cassie’s projects span a diverse range of instrumentation and styles, sharing the common languages of improvisation and blues. Produced by Brian Charles (Moby, Dispatch, Weakened Friends), Cassie will release her second full-length album in 2025.

Miss Otis Regrets
2025-06-14 20:00 - 21:00 | The Dance Complex, Cambride, 536 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA, 02139, United States
“Miss Otis Regrets” is a genre-defying solo cabaret show that blends vintage radio drama, queer coming-of-age memoir, American socio-political history, and classic cabaret with sardonic wit and pathos. Framed by the haunting lyrics of Cole Porter’s “Miss Otis Regrets,” the show begins as a fictionalized 1950s radio broadcast detailing the life of Carl Otis, a sensitive young man navigating the dangers of queer desire in mid-century America. As Carl’s story unfolds—culminating in his exposure, public shame, and isolation—the narrative seamlessly shifts to the autobiographical journey of performer Francis Garner.
With musical interludes ranging from Arthur Schwartz to Sara Bareilles to M.C. Hammer, Francis parallels Carl’s repression and marginalization with his own queer youth in the 1990s and 2000s, tracing a path from closeted adolescent opera prodigy to disillusioned adult seeking authenticity. Wry commercial parodies and historical references (Eisenhower’s Executive Order 10450, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the AIDS crisis) lend political and cultural context, while candid monologues and powerful musical numbers bring emotional immediacy. The show culminates in a celebration of self-acceptance and resilience, underscored by a defiant hopefulness.
