SUMMARY:Martin Bonventre: Swingin’ in a New Dimension album release show
DESCRIPTION:Martin Bonventre\,  a true old-school showman with a baritone voice\, smooth moves\, and a big\, open-hearted personality\, brings his show to The Laurie Beechman Theatre with the release of his brand-new EP\, Swingin’ in a New Dimension. This all-new solo show blends a wide variety of music from the Great American Songbook to golden-age musical theatre to Tom Jones and Neil Diamond. \nBacked by a killer band of seasoned pros\, with arrangements by music director Jackie Presti\, the night features:\n•        Jason Yeager on piano\n•        Tony Tedesco on drums\n•        Boots Maleson on bass\n•        Greg Ruvolo on trumpet\n•        Geoff Burke on sax and flute \nExpect a few dance breaks\, a few good stories\, and a whole lotta swing. \nTHE REVIEWS ARE IN: \n“As Sinatra learned from Bing Crosby and took crooning into a new dimension\, Martin Bonventre has learned from the whole history of swingin’ singers — from Crosby to Marvin Gaye — and he makes music all his own. He’s a swinger for the bold and unexpected new ways things swing today.” – David Hajdu\, author of Love for Sale: Pop Music in America \n“At 34\, Martin has a lot of future ahead of him—and from where I stand\, all of it looks great.” – Will Friedwald\, Author and Jazz Journalist \n“…What isn’t contained is his enthusiasm. It’s endearing and entertaining. Although he’s in his 30s\, the sound is boyish\, bright\, and breezy as baritone Bonventre dives into the music” -Talkin’ Broadway\n\nBonventre has a strong baritone…his timing was on point in the swing arrangements—and his fans appreciated him with vigor. With Presti’s excellent arrangements\, and a top-shelf band\, overall\, the show offered excellent material and was indeed charming.” \n—Nightlife Exchange \n\n\n“Bonventre is a strong cabaret and theater vocalist\, who has picked several perfect songs for his style.  It’s when he sings the pop song and Michael Jackson’s hit record\, “She’s Out of My Life” that this baritone gets my full attention.  Bonventre softens his tone and delivers this piece of exquisite music\, showing a deep emotional connection.” -Making a Scene

SUMMARY:Breathe\, Songs of Holding On and Letting Go
DESCRIPTION:Bistro and MAC Hanson Award winning vocalist\, Lucille Carr-Kaffashan\, is thrilled to be returning to Don’t Tell Mama this spring with a brand-new show. “Breathe\, Songs of Holding on and Letting Go” is a musical exploration of how we navigate a fundamental human experience — the process of holding on and letting go in all its various iterations. We hold on to and let go of relationships\, to hopes and beliefs\, to a sense of identity\, and in this process we inevitably face turning points that create the opportunity for change and growth. The diverse musical program includes selections from the Great American Songbook\, from contemporary singer-songwriters\, from musical theater\, and from both classic and current country music stars.

SUMMARY:Breathe\, Songs of Holding On and Letting Go
DESCRIPTION:Bistro and MAC Hanson Award winning vocalist\, Lucille Carr-Kaffashan\, is thrilled to be returning to Don’t Tell Mama this spring with a brand-new show. “Breathe\, Songs of Holding on and Letting Go” is a musical exploration of how we navigate a fundamental human experience — the process of holding on and letting go in all its various iterations. We hold on to and let go of relationships\, to hopes and beliefs\, to a sense of identity\, and in this process we inevitably face turning points that create the opportunity for change and growth. The diverse musical program includes selections from the Great American Songbook\, from contemporary singer-songwriters\, from musical theater\, and from both classic and current country music stars.

All shows at 7PM at Don’t Tell Mama (343 West 46th St\, New York\, NY\, 10036). Tickets: $30. Minimum: $20 (Must include two drinks). Cash only. \nThe cast for the June 13th show\, the 2nd of 4\, features: April Armstrong\, Peter Calo\, Terri Dannenberg\, Natalie Douglas\, Any Engelhardt\, Lauren Fox\, Rosemary Loar\, Sue Matsuki\, Kati Neiheisel\, Geri Palast\, and Can Yasar. Music Director: Gregory Toroian. \n(The 1st of the 4 “Blue Tsunami” events on MAY 7th was FANTASTIC\, featuring Michael Roberts (Musical Director)\, Karen Akers\, Rembert Block\, Lane Bradbury\, Blair Alexis Brown\, Alex de Suze\, Goldie Dver\, Nicolas King\, Elizabeth Ward Land\, Marissa Mulder\, Gavin Gold and Steve Schalchlin.) \n3rd of 4: September 1\nIan Herman MD\nBruce Clough\, Mary Sue Daniels\, Dawn Derow\, Lianne Marie Dobbs\, Sean Harkness\, Karen Oberlin\, Julie Reyburn\, David Sabella\, Gerrilyn Sohn\, Ty Stephens\, Vanessa Trouble\, D.C.

Shapiro\, Sierra Rein\, Liora Michelle\, Lisa Viggiano\, Kenneth Gartman\, Joe Iconis and Lauren Marcus. \nSeven months prior to the 2018 midterm elections\, long-time Cabaret Show Reviewer\, Producer\, Publicist\, and Performer Stephen Hanks launched a series of five cabaret variety shows as fundraisers for Democratic Senate\, Congress\, and State Legislature candidates. The critically acclaimed CABARET CAMPAIGNS: RIDE THE BLUE WAVE 2018!\, performed at Don’t Tell Mama and featuring 28 different performers\, raised more than $6\,000 divided among 30 candidates. Election Day 2018 was indeed a “Blue Wave\,” as the Democrats flipped 40 seats in Congress. After presenting two Blue Wave Victory Shows at Don’t Tell Mama in January 2019 and one Blue Wave Greatest Hits show at Urban Stages in June 2019—all of which received rave reviews from the Cabaret press—Hanks and his “Blue Wave Group” hit the cabaret club campaign trail again in January 2020\, May 2022\, and May 2024 with shows that raised money to support national voting rights groups and New York Democratic Congressional candidates. In September 2024\, Hanks and his “Blue Wavers” were back at Don’t Tell Mama with the 12th variety fundraising show\, this time to raise money for the Presidential campaign of Vice-President Kamala Harris. \n“I was hoping that after the 2024 Presidential election\, I wouldn’t need to produce these shows again\,” Hanks admits. “But given the current dangers to our First-Amendment Rights\, Voting Rights\, Health Care\, Personal Freedoms\, National Security\, the attacks on Immigrants\, and More\, it is imperative that Democrats win both houses of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections. Hence\, the new series PROJECT 2026: BLUE TSUNAMI! I’m hoping these fundraising shows will  also energize audiences to support Democratic candidates however they can. As in times past\, the cabaret art form is an ideal vehicle to get this important message out\, while at the same time also supporting those on the front lines of the fight.”
