Christy Trapp taps into the Frank Sinatra songbook and Rat Pack repertoire (“All The Way,” “One For My Baby,” “Nice ‘N’ Easy,” “Wives and Lovers,” “I’m a Fool to Want You”) with a 21st Century spin and a sly eye on the lyrics that may or may not have stood the test of time.

This “newly minted cabaret star” will once again present an evening of show tunes, standards, eleven o’clock numbers, and a little bit of diva worship on the side. After spending the last several years working in the little basement of dreams at 54 Below, Macon has observed and learned from the best that the cabaret world has to offer. This performance is Macon’s own way of paying homage to the great show-stoppers that have graced the 54 Below stage! It’s fun! It’s opulent! It’s Broadway!
Featuring special guests Sarah Goodman and Cassi Mikat (The Sound of Music international tour).
Hailing from the farmlands of Prickettville, Alabama, Macon Prickett was born to entertain! Since making the big move to the Big Apple over 7 years ago, Macon has draped himself across pianos on stages throughout the city at venues such as 54 Below plus The Duplex, Don’t Tell Mama, Greenroom42, and late night karaoke at Baby Grand. Macon is a member of Actor’s Equity Association, occasionally chewing the scenery as a cow, a snail, an earthworm, a ghost, and awaiting the day he’ll get the chance to play a real boy!

Chris Autore, born in Connecticut, was surrounded by music from an early age, due in part to his mandolin-playing father and his grandmother who taught him to sing in Italian. At the age of five, he was cast in the Horn and Hardart Children’s Hour, broadcast from NBC Studios. At six years old, he sang “Because of You” with Tony Bennett at the Shubert Theater in New Haven, Connecticut. He later studied dance, piano, and attended music classes at Carnegie Hall. After serving in the U.S. Air Force, Autore fell in love again with the arts of dance, piano, vocals, and design, leading to a move to NYC in the late 1960s, and to Fort Lauderdale in 1986. Career highlights include performing at Grossinger’s in the Catskills, 1971-73, an engagement at Merv Griffin’s Resorts International, Atlantic City, and as the headliner at the World Famous Jockey Club in Miami in 1986. Prior to making his NYC solo cabaret debut on November 5, 2025, Autore worked as the weekend performer at Maggiano’s in Boca Raton for 16 years.

The 2nd Annual Dionne Family Christmas!
2025-12-22 21:30 - 22:30 | The Green Room 42, 570 Tenth Ave 4th floor of the Yotel, New York, NJ, 10036, United States
Join the Broadway-bound LaRaisha DiEvelyn Dionne (The Great Emu War, Leader of the Pack, Waitress, and NBC’s Law & Order) and her husband, Christian Dionne (last year’s Christmas Cabaret), as they bring their holiday special back to the stage in this intimate, heartfelt evening.
A show that’s part cabaret, part questionable metaphor, A Dionne Family Christmas explores holiday nightmares, Hallmark cheese, and what happens when a lovable couple decides to “wing it” for the second year in a row.
With favorites from The Muppet Christmas Carol to Patti LaBelle to Joni Mitchell, this soulfully silly, nostalgic night proves why a random sampling of critics from some phone app called ‘Contacts’ hails the Dionne pair “…nauseatingly cute,” (LaRaisha’s grandmother), “Marley and Marley,” (Christian’s subconscious), and “…absolutely necessary in these crazy times,” (at least two members of 2024’s audience).
Featuring:
LaRaisha DiEvelyn Dionne

Steve Budd: Oy, What They Said About Love
2026-01-17 20:00 - 21:05 | Don't Tell Mama, 343 W 46th Street, New York, New York, 10036
Steve Budd comes to NYC for a performance of his award-winning solo play “Oy, What They Said About Love” at Don’t Tell Mama NYC on SATURDAY, JANUARY 17 at 8:00 PM. Come check out his Jewish (which is to say heartfelt, hilarious, and somewhat neurotic) take on love, romance, and marriage–and the search for “the one.” Directed by Mark Kenward & Kenny Yun.
Awarded “Best of the 2024 San Francisco Fringe” – The newest mashup of personal storytelling and docu-theater from an award-winning solo performer who “sparkles with manic and irrepressible charm” (Theatrius).
Steve wonders why other people can tie the knot and he can’t. Oy, does he wonder! So he asked a bunch of couples what brought them together and what keeps them from pulling apart. Meet a Jewish couple who met on Craigslist, an interfaith pair who met on Halloween, and more. Budd plays a dozen characters and weaves in his relentless search for “the one.”
Steve Budd’s “Oy, What They Said About Love” premiered at the San Francisco Fringe Festival on July 28, 2024, at the Exit Theatre. It continued with a performance at the Binge Fringe Festival in Santa Monica in March 2025, followed by a featured presentation at The Marsh in Berkeley on April 22 as part of its Marsh Risings series. In May, Budd brought the piece to San Diego for a live and Zoom hybrid event hosted by Yiddishland California and also participated in the San Diego International Fringe Festival. The show continued its tour with performances at the Ottawa Fringe Festival in June 2025 at the Atelier Theatre, where Apt 613 hailed it as “a sharp and insightful, polished show.” Oy, What They Said About Love ran for six weeks in Sept. and Oct. 2025 at The Marsh in Berkeley, where For All Events called it “amusing and heartbreaking.”

Martin Bonventre: Swingin’ In A New Dimension EP release celebration at The Laurie Beechman Theatre
2026-01-31 19:00 - 20:00 | The Laurie Beechman Theatre/West Bank Cafe, 407 West 42nd St, New York, NY, 10036, United States
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.
Backed by a killer band of seasoned pros, with arrangements by music director Jackie Presti, the night features:
• Jason Yeager on piano
• Tony Tedesco on drums
• Boots Maleson on bass
• Greg Ruvolo on trumpet
• Geoff Burke on sax and flute
Expect a few dance breaks, a few good stories, and a whole lotta swing.
“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

TOM TUCKER is a singer and middle-school English teacher from New York City… by way of Revere, Medford, and Southie. Teenage Tom started singing beside the piano of family friend (and Boston cabaret great), Dottie Dean.
NYC: The Supper Club with the Barry Levitt Orchestra, Don’t Tell Mama, The Lent-Riker Estate, Synchronicity Space SoHo. Tom sings on the Pippin (’13 revival) cast recording.
Boston: The Opera House, The Half Shell, Ryle’s, and seven previous appearances at Club Cafe: “Swingin’ Sixty!” and “Gimme A Little Room” at Josephine’s; “Blame It On The Moonshine,” “Another Manic Monday, My 80s Songbook,” “Fools First, April Second” and “Lower Keys And False Eyelashes,” all in The Moonshine Room. Tom also shared the Moonshine stage with wonderful Jan Peters as one of her Cabaret Spotlight artists; an absolute highlight! Tom frequently performs with Club Cafe favorite Janet Stanton, and Boston treasure/great pal/musical director Brian Patton.
