Miss Otis Regrets
2025-06-08 19:00 - 20:00 | Provincetown, Provincetown, MA, 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 Wry commercial parodies and historical references (Eisenhower’s Executive Order 10450, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the AIDS crisis) lend political and cultural context, while candid monologues and powerful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.

WENDY LUCK at Pangea's Wednesday Night Jazz Series June 11
2025-06-11 19:00 - 20:30 | Pangea, 178 2nd Ave., New York, NY, United States
Come enjoy Pangea Cabaret Room’s Wednesday Night Jazz Series –
Featuring vocalist/flutist WENDY LUCK! June 11 @7:00pm
To make a reservation call: 212-995-0900 or send an email to info@pangeanyc.com
Award-winning vocalist and flutist Wendy Luck, is “adorned with talent,” says Karl Stober, of Ejazznews. “A consummate musician, her artistic skill and grace shine through whether she is singing a ballad or a bossa nova… or playing flute on a jazz tune, a choro, or a samba…” (Randy Morse, “The Best of Brazil,” KZUM.)
Wendy Luck, internationally recognized flutist, vocalist, composer, performer, and recording artist, has concertized all over the world. Her diverse array of performances range from orchestral/chamber music at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and Merkin Hall, to lead vocalist/flutist with NYC’s Rainbow Room big band, to original ensemble work at the Knitting Factory, Roulette, and The Kitchen and countless other clubs, to recording her own compositions in Egypt inside the Great Pyramid and in the temples along the Nile, to writing and performing her one-woman show entitled Aquatic Information which utilizes flutes, voice, characters, and multimedia. With a number of esteemed compositional awards, an improvisational ease, and an ever-brewing love and proclivity for jazz and the avant garde, she has performed with cutting edge greats including Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, Eddie Blackwell, Karl Berger, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette, and Sam Rivers. Her 7 CDs include a Brazilian jazz album recorded in Rio, a flute album recorded inside the Great Pyramid, and an alchemy album of smooth jazz and classical music. Wendy has won numerous awards for her compositions, and can be found in Scott Yanow’s book, The Jazz Singers: The Ultimate Guide. In 2012, Ms. Luck became Dr. Luck, graduating from NYU Steinhardt with a focus in performance and composition. www.WendyLuck.com (http://www.wendyluck.com/)
“A heartland girl that has conquered New York as well as the world with her flute and other talents, takes it down to Rio for a breezy date that we’re simply a sucker for. With nary a Brazilian chestnut in ear shot even when covering Jobim or Djavan, she holds her own down south with a crew of killer Brazilian cats behind her. Solid stuff that crosses the line from smooth jazz into that place where there’s something extra going on, even if you don’t grasp it right away. A tasty find from a player that is equally at home with uptown cocktail hours as she is with downtown after hours that knows all the right moves.” ~ Chris Spector, www.midwestrecord.com

Love and Let Die: Confessions of a Bond Girl
2025-06-13 19:00 - 20:30 | Don’t Tell Mama, 343 West 46th St, New York, NY, 10036, United States
Get ready for a dazzling night of intrigue, glamour, and unforgettable music as Love and Let Die: Confessions of a Bond Girl returns for one-night-only in a special encore performance at Don’t Tell Mama on Friday, June 13th at 7:00 PM.
Fresh off winning the 2025 MAC Award and the 2024 BroadwayWorld Award, acclaimed cabaret performer Shannon Daley steps back into stilettos as Sylvia Trench, the original Bond Girl and the only one to appear in more than one of the original films – a feat only matched more recently by Dr. Madeline Swann. But this time, Sylvia is the one with the license… to spill.
With a martini in one hand and a memoir in the other, Sylvia invites the audience into the glittering shadows of MI6 to reveal the truth about her decades-long, on-again-off-again affair with the elusive and enigmatic James Bond. Told through a blend of razor-sharp storytelling and iconic songs from the Bond canon—including hits made famous by Shirley Bassey, Adele, Paul McCartney, and more—Love and Let Die is a sultry, smart, and wickedly funny journey into the heart of a spy’s most enduring lover.
Directed by cabaret legend Lennie Watts and with music direction by the incomparable John Fischer, the show balances smoky ballads, high-octane belting, and delicious confessions with the precision of a perfectly aimed Walther PPK.

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.

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.
