Let's Misbehave

 

Let's Misbehave

It's 1935 in the wee hours of the morning in Dorothy's stylish New York apartment where a swell party has just ended. Dorothy, Walter and Alice linger over a nightcap and some delicious gossip about the departing guests. The three friends delight in each other's company. . . until the witty banter and fun reveal a complicated triangle of affections. This is the setting for an effervescent evening of more than 30 sparkling jewels from the Cole Porter repertoire including classics like I Get A Kick Out of You, Anything Goes, Begin the Beguine, Night And Day and In the Still of the Night as well as some lesser known gems like Find Me A Primitive Man, Never Never Be An Artist and Most Gentlemen Don't Like Love.

February 10- March 18
Previews February 8 & 9

Performances Thursday-Monday @ 8:00
Sunday brunch matinees @ 1:00

The Big Bang

 

The Big Bang

Jed and Boyd are ambitious young songwriters hosting a backer's audition to finance their show The Big Bang, the most extravagant musical ever written. However for this evening it's just the two guys madly tearing around a Park Avenue penthouse using every available piece of furniture and home decor to act out all the parts of their show whose subject is the entire history of the world. Adam and Eve enjoy free food in Eden. Slaves kvetch about schlepping stones to build the pyramids. Nefertiti's a soul diva. Caesar ignores the soothsayer's warning about getting "whacked." Pocahontas and Minnehaha in a Manhattan bar bemoan the lackluster dating scene. And a hasty closing number sums up the whole 20th century in one frantic finale. The writing is brilliantly clever, outrageous stereotypes abound and the energy never lags as Time flies by in a flurry of hilarity.

"The funniest, most spirited and downright goofy 80-minute survey of history we've ever seen." Philadelphia Inquirer

March 30 - May 27
Previews March 28 & 29

Life Could Be A Dream

 

Life Could Be A Dream

A delightful follow-up to last summer's hit The Marvelous Wonderettes, this show (also by Roger Bean) introduces the Crooning Crabcakes, the boys banned from the Wonderettes' prom, as they prepare to enter the Big Whopper Radio contest and realize their dreams of making it to the big time. Lois arrives to put some polish on the boys. Denny and Wally fall in love, Eugene falls apart, and along comes handsome heartthrob Skip to send the whole situation spinning. The '60s doo-wop songs say it all: Fools Fall in Love, Tears on My Pillow, Runaround Sue, Earth Angel, Stay, Unchained Melody, Just Like Romeo and Juliet, Easier Said Than Done, Lonely Teardrops and The Glory of Love. Winner of the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award.

"Perfect musical arrangements make this doo-wop musical infectious and a lot of fun!" Talkin' Broadway

Song and Dance

 

Song and Dance

Two of the Cabaret's most popular and polished performers come together to create an enchanting evening of brilliant song and thrilling dance. Kymberli Colbourne has been a stand-out performer in recent productions of Whodunit and I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change. Her ability to connect with the audience, her rich, expressive voice and her skill at creating both touching and comic characters always delight. Christopher George Patterson brings charm and charisma galore, a soaring soulful voice and dazzling dance to the party. He has been seen in Five Guys Named Moe, Smokey Joe's Cafe, A Brief History of White Music and Riffin' & Tappin'. He was also director/ choreographer of What A Glorious Feeling. Come to the Cabaret, my friends, and enjoy the pros sharing their talents and their stories.
