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!”

From the iconic compositions of Duke Ellington and Jerome Kern to the classic tunes of Chick Corea and The Beatles, Susan will take you on a journey through the rich history and stories behind this music.
A proud and passionate native New Yorker, Susan has had a lifelong passion for music. Following a successful career in finance, she is thriving and making her mark in this new chapter. The unique combination of Susan’s jazz and cabaret singing, coupled with her “charm, wit and skill” (Theater Pizzazz) has earned her numerous accolades, including a nomination for Best Female Vocalist for the 2022 Annual MAC Awards. Her debut show in 2018, “Nobody Else But Me”, directed by the legendary Marilyn Maye, was also nominated for a MAC Award for Best Female Debut. Cabaret Hotspot commended her for her “incredible voice with sultry jazz overtones and respect for the lyric”. With Tedd Firth – Musical Director/Piano, David Finck – Bass, Eric Halvorson – Drums, Danny Bacher -Saxophone.

Warm and witty, with nothing forced or trite… I would have gladly stayed for a third and a fourth set by the marvelous Karen Mack and Elliot Roth.” – Gerry Geddes, Bistroawards.com

This concert was commissioned by the Kennedy Center to close their 2023 RiverRun Festival and performed to standing ovations in this past April. Mary, Maggy, and Marta Moipei of Nairobi, Kenya, sing an eclectic mix of styles illustrating how rivers impact our lives with their beauty, their majesty, and their power. This lively concert runs the gamut of the American Songbook, Broadway, pop, spirituals, swing and even a spotlight on Kenyan folk songs. The concert includes favorite songs: Ol’ Man River, Down by the Riverside, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Up a Lazy River, Down to the River to Pray, Proud Mary, The Water is Wide, and many, many more.
Mary, Maggy and Marta have been singing since a very young age in Kenya. Their arrival in NY a couple of years ago has been met with high praise from critics, fellow performers, musicians and most importantly, audiences.
Mary, Maggy and Marta Moipei are identical triplets from Nairobi, Kenya and currently reside in the U.S. Moipei made their NYC debut at the 2021 Cabaret Convention which resulted in the Foundation presenting them with the prestigious Julie Wilson Award. MOIPEI arranges their unique vocals for all the songs they sing.
At the age of 12, they were appointed Kenya’s first ever UNICEF Child Ambassadors. Through their musical talents they championed girl child empowerment, education, and alternative rites of passage. The sisters have performed sold-out concerts internationally, presenting an eclectic mix of their own arrangements of the American Songbook repertoire, Broadway tunes, jazz hits, sacred pieces, and Kenyan folk songs.
Other highlights: performances with the Indianapolis Symphony, The San Antonio Symphony, The Alamo City Opera Company, The Amarillo Opera Company, and tours of South Korea and British Columbia. They have also performed at Birdland Jazz Club Theater and many performing arts centers throughout the country, as well as singing the national anthem at the Spurs vs. Clippers – Playoff game 4.

Bad Dates: A One-Man Show About Many Men
2023-08-10 19:30 - 20:30 | The Stonewall Inn, 53 Christopher Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Veteran comedian Adam Sank (“Last Comic Standing,” “The Today Show,” Vh-1’s “I Love the 2000s”) comes out of retirement with a new show about one gay man’s fruitless 30-year-search for lasting love. From the boyfriend who kept stealing his Neosporin to the vanilla guy with the Christmas-tree-shaped member, Adam’s dating stories are ribald and hilarious… until he turns the tables with one that is shocking and tragic.
“In that past, all my shows have been a random series of jokes, and one of the reasons I retired was because that was no longer satisfying,” Sank says. “In returning to the stage, I wanted to try something different. ‘Bad Dates’ is about a single idea, which is the fact that I’ve spent half my life hunting for men, and what the cost of that is. And while I hope people laugh at most of the show, I’m also hoping they take away something genuine and heartfelt.”
Lavender After Dark Says: “Sank’s ‘Bad Dates’ is sexy, smart, and funny. But it also has its very provocative moments… Not just hilarious but also more relevant than ever…”
Remaining Summer Performances: Thursday, Aug. 10 and Thursday, Aug. 24

The Elena Bennett & Fred Barton Song Salon
2023-08-10 20:30 - 22:30 | Pangea, 178 2nd Ave., New York, NY, United States
Elena Bennett and Fred Barton continue the run of their long-hailed “Bennett & Barton Song Salon,” in the front room of Pangea, 2nd Ave. at 12th St., Thursdays in August. The event will run for two hours on each night, between 8:30pm and 10:30pm. There is no cover or minimum.
Bennett & Barton were the first to originate the format of the Song Salon in the late 1990s, in their heyday at the pinnacle of cabaret/piano bars, Eighty-Eights. In addition to performing songs and taking requests from their vast repertoire, encompassing the best of Golden Age swing, Hollywood, Broadway, and radio – Bennett and Barton invite guest performers to get up with their best and knock it out of the park, for an unpredictable evening determined by audience members themselves. Past guests have included luminaries from throughout the entertainment world.

SALON is an ongoing open entertainment event in which singers, writers and musicians share their talent with each other and audience members. Doors open at 6:30pm for sign-up. We begin at 7:00 and end at 9:30. If you would like to sign up to perform, see one the evening’s ‘Mamettes’ to fill out a card with your name, the name of your song, whether or not Mark will be playing for you and any upcoming events you’d like to promote. We do not present performers in order of sign-up, however, indicating requests as clearly and as early as possible as far as time restraints are concerned always makes everything much more possible. ALWAYS BRING SEVERAL SONG SELECTIONS to avoid duplication. All types of material, on or off theme are always welcome at Salon. We enthusiastically welcome instrumentalists, poets, playwrights, essayists, comics, illusionists and performance artists. Please limit your selections to three or four minutes in length (including patter). Please also bring clear, complete charts for Mark to read. Flash photography is not allowed. Please turn off all noise making devices and give performers your undivided attention.
$10.00 cover charge (cash at the door) and a $20 minimum (must include 2 drinks) per person (cash or credit)
