NYC's Variety Salon, "Poetry/Cabaret" 5/19 SERIES FINALE, "DRY AGED"
2023-05-19 21:30 - 22:45 | The Green Room 42, 570 Tenth Ave 4th floor of the Yotel, New York, NJ, 10036, United States
Nominated for Six Broadway World Cabaret Awards, including
“Best Variety Show or Recurring Series”

NYC’s “Variety Salon” Poetry/Cabaret is back with “DRY AGED”, a celebration of the show’s fifth year—and host Thomas March’s 50th year in this mortal form. The evening will include readings, comedy, and musical performances featuring Paul Iacono, Genesis Adelia Collado, Anna Maria Hong, Sarah Levy, Tyler Mills, Shalewa Sharpe, and more surprises in store. Music Director Drew Wutke will be on keys and, as always, on point. After this performance, Poetry/Cabaret will be saying goodbye (for now, at least), as Thomas and Drew work on a new act the likes of which the world hasn’t seen since The Captain and Tennille. So we’ll be covering a lot in one night—Santa and the Tooth Fairy, fashion, holiday betrayals, childhood auditions, and a whole season’s worth of misbegotten mayhem. As one recent audience member exclaimed, “I don’t know what the hell that was, but I f*$&ing loved it!”

Bart Greenberg of cabaretscenes.org :
“The fine troubadour Tim Connell returned to Pangea for his third new show of the year. The fact that the room was packed with fans says a great deal about his talent and his warmth. Once again, he used his polished tenor and his fine enunciation plus his ability to find interesting songs that are not part of the usual cabaret catalog to build an interesting and entertaining evening.”

Gerrilyn Sohn: If Joe Allen's Walls Could Sing & Other Hidden Gems
2023-03-21 19:00 - 20:00 | Don’t Tell Mama, 343 West 46th St, New York, NY, 10036, United States
Gerrilyn Sohn returns to Don’t Tell Mama with “If Joe Allen’s Walls Could Sing & Other Hidden Gems” on Sunday, March 12 at 4pm & Tuesday, March 21st at 7pm.
Directed by Lennie Watts, with Musical Director Steven Ray Watkins and Marco Panascia on Bass.
Joe Allen’s has been a favorite spot for theater folk and fans since 1965. On any given night you can spot some of Broadway’s brightest stars scattered throughout, but on the walls, you will find some of The Great White Way’s biggest flops. Gerrilyn Sohn will be paying tribute to some of these legendary theatrical misses. With music from “Merrily We Roll Along” and “Legs Diamond” (prominently featured on the wall) to other hidden gems from shows that should be on the wall, Gerrilyn proves that you can’t always judge a book by its cover, or a Broadway show by its critical success!
2022 BroadwayWorld Cabaret Award Nominee Best Show
