Margaret Curry in "The Space In-Between"
2024-04-06 19:00 - 20:30, 2024-05-04 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | The Laurie Beechman Theatre/West Bank Cafe, 407 West 42nd St, New York, NJ, 10036, United States
MARGARET CURRY returns for encore performances of THE SPACE IN-BETWEEN, originally performed at Laurie Beechman Theatre on November 30, 2023. Through story and song, Curry explores, stimulates, and delights in the universe between the present and the future, the good and the bad, hope and what’s-to-come. Always seeking to dive and dig deep into all things human, ever-curious about why we do what we do, she strives to remind and cajole herself and her audiences to fly higher.

Cabaret Scenes says, THE SPACE IN-BETWEEN is “…a mix of songs and sensational stories told in between them (where, she assured the audience, ‘the good stuff comes from’)…Curry displayed a fine comic flair…the entire evening was conceived with genuine intelligence.”

Through compositions by Johnny Mercer, Yip Harburg, Chaka Khan, Roy Orbison, Jimmy Webb, and more, Curry tells her story (and some of ours) with musical director/arranger GREGORY TOROIAN on piano, SKIP WARD on bass, and DAVID SILLIMAN on drums. THE SPACE IN-BETWEEN is directed by LINA KOUTRAKOS.

“The performer is an excellent story teller attracted to songs that tell tales and often contain a whole lot of lyrics (“Waters of March,” “Flight,” for example) that he projects with clarity and emotion. He is a lyricists best friend.”
Bart Greenberg; Theatre Pizzazz February 18, 2024
23 Bistro Award recipient & 2023 MAC Award Nominee, Tim Connell returns to Pangea with – …it’s the joy in your heart… .

Billy Mitchell: I'm still fine.
2024-04-17 19:00 - 2024-04-21 19:00 (America/New_York) | Don’t Tell Mama, 343 West 46th St, New York, NY, 10036, United States
Villain: DeBlanks creator, Billy Mitchell, makes his Don’t Tell Mama debut with solo show “I’m (still) fine.”
After more than 2 decades “between shows,” Billy is thrilled to continue crafting this outré cabaret with the incomparable support of music director Tracy Stark. With a Stephen King sense of humor and a Phyllis Diller sense of style, Billy will apply his unique interpretation to pop songs, American standards, and a couple of showtunes, threaded together with harrowing tales of adolescence, obsession, and coincidence… and much of it will be true. But don’t worry about him — he’s still fine.
A lifelong performer, writer, director, and maze-maker, Billy has decided that fear is his new comfort food. He has performed nationally, regionally, locally, and privately — including the first NYC revival of “Assassins” at the Provincetown Playhouse, and a command performance of “Jacques Brel is Alive and Well…” for the Belgian Ambassador — and then he got a day job. Since then, he has directed & written all around New York & New Jersey, hosted and sang for benefits, fundraisers, and long car rides. In addition to other projects, audiences across the U.S. and the U.K. have enjoyed his fill-in-the-blanks whodunnit, “Villain: DeBlanks.”
“Billy Mitchell: I’m (still) fine.” will perform at Don’t Tell Mama (343 W 46th St, NYC) on Wed, April 17 at 7pm; Fri, April 19 at 7pm; and Sun, April 21 at 6pm. Seating begins 45 minutes prior to showtime. Running time is approximately 65 minutes. Cover charge $20 ($10 MAC members). The $20 minimum, must include two drinks. CASH ONLY.

Jason Henderson (2024 Bistro Award – Musical Comedy Performer) returns with musical director Christopher Denny to perform this acclaimed show directed by Barry Kleinbort.
Jason lived the life less-interesting until he discovered the humorous, touching and surprisingly-topical songs of Sir Noël Coward.
‘…pretty darn well perfect.’ Stephen Mosher, Broadway World
“One of Coward’s top interpreters…He seems born to sing the material…” “His show is not a traditional tribute but rather a one-act, one-man musical comedy scored with a variety of Coward classics and rarities, each perfectly delivered.” Gerry Geddes, Bistro Awards
“Henderson matched The Master in drollery and badinage, and with perfect timing. His narrative was brilliantly constructed – clever, witty, literate and funny as can be.” Marilyn Lester, Nitelife Exchange

Join us at Triad Theater in Manhattan for a Spring launch party / friend-raiser / fundraiser for HAMPTONS SUMMER SONGBOOK BY THE SEA, a dynamic new performance season coming this summer to Long Island’s East End! We’ll gather with delight and anticipation to raise a glass and salute this new adventure – made possible in part thanks to the generous support of lead sponsors ELEANOR and HOWARD MORGAN.
LTV Studios in East Hampton hosts a roster of the world’s best cabaret and Broadway artists, including KAREN AKERS, MARK NADLER, KT SULLIVAN, CHRISTINE ANDREAS & MARTY SILVESTRI, LIZ LARSEN & SAL VIVIANO, TOVAH FELDSHUH, STEVE ROSS, KAREN MURPHY, MARK SINGER & DARCY DUNN, ANNA BERGMAN, ALEX RYBECK, and more still to be announced – many of whom will make a special advance appearance at The Triad in a musical salute to launch this new series.
Produced by DONNA RUBIN and LTV’s Creative Director JOSH GLADSTONE, the HAMPTONS SUMMER SONGBOOK presents a roster of the world’s best cabaret and Broadway artists in the intimate, funky and unique environs of a reconfigured, industrial black-box television studio – complete with state-of-the art lighting and audio merging with the romantic ambiance of cafe’ table seating, modular staging and a gorgeous Baby Grand; all combining for an up-front, live encounter with legendary songs and songwriters as interpreted by today’s finest performers.
