HERE & THERE
How about some really good news to start off this abbreviated "Here
& There" section? (I had to cut this section short since this is a
"double issue" and there is so much more news to report.)
Bob Egan has bounced back from the sudden closing
of his COSMOPOLITAN ROOM in New Hope and has resumed his productions
at STOCKTON INN tonight with the regular BOB'S BIG MONDAY SHOWCASE.
Check out the article above in the "Today's Top Stories" section,
including news of additional shows already schedule for the room.
And another bit of great news (also highlighted in
the Top Stories" section) is the announcement of the final cast
lineup of Scott Siegel's BROADWAY UNPLUGGED show at THE TOWN HALL
tonight. This is the show where singers from Broadway and cabaret
perform entirely without microphones and is one of the most exciting
events of all the Siegel productions. My friend Daniel and I have
been to the past shows, and eagerly look forward to attending tonight's
show - curtain time is 8:00 pm. As of yesterday there were still
some good seats left, but with the announcement this morning that
the strike that has closed 27 Broadway theaters will continue at
least through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, the remaining tickets
may sell out fast to theater fans eager to fulfill their cravings
for showtunes. I hope to see many of my cabaret friends at the show
tonight.
Another thing closed through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend is CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE - there will be no newsletter on Thursday this week
- next issue will be on Monday November 26th. Hence we have included
many more news items in this issue than usual, including information
on shows this weekend that would normally be published in the MIDWEEK
issue.
Things apparently really heated up with the strike talks between the
producers and the stagehand unions that were restarted over the weekend,
and it appears that now there is a split between the national union
and the local union - a compromise apparently was reached by the national
union but the local union leadership would have none of it and from
what I hear, walked out (the union said the producers walked out).
The stagehands are reportedly making $150,000 per year plus bonus
payment for overtime. The producers have had a banner year in profits
and reportedly have a $20 million "war chest" to tide them over through
a strike. The folks getting hit - and hit hard are the performers
in the chorus and the dancers, innocent victims in this tug of war
between union and producers. Also hurt have been the merchants, restaurants
and bars and their employees in the theater district. Hopefully cooler
heads will prevail and negotiations will resume and the lights will
go back on on Broadway early next week.
LA-based cabaret/recording star Shawn Ryan is expanding his horizons
as well as his acting chops. Now as a man, playing the role of a woman
pretending to be a man. In a show scheduled for Friday December 7th
on ABC's "Women's Murder Club" Shawn makes his network dramatic debut
playing the part of an "aggressive narcoleptic lesbian drag king!"
Apparently someone saw a clip of Shawn's performance in drag a few
years back ay LE CHAT NOIR in New Orleans, and called his agent to
arrange an audition for a small role as a female impersonator in an
episode of the show. The audition went well, but Shawn didn't get
the part - not that part at least. As the producer said, "it was easier
to find a man who could pass as a lesbian who could pass as a man,
than find a lesbian who could actually pass as a man." Catch the show
for the whole story - it has a rather intricate plot much too involved
for me to explain to you here.
Just a "coda" to the DSL problems that plagued me last week - the
newsletter was finally sent out around 4:30 pm - the DSL line came
back exactly at 4:00 pm but when I opened my mail reader program over
6000 e-mails downloaded. It took nearly 1/2 hour for them all to come
in, and after sending out the 2500 newsletters, I spent another two
or three hours untangling the mass of messages (only about 100 were
non-spam). In deleting 5900 e-mails I am quite certain that one or
two more legitimate messages were deleted in error, so if you don't
get a response in a few days (I have over 40 messages and inquiries
still to answer) resend your note. If you sent a press release for
an event after December 9th it may not be in this issue - check next
Monday if it is posted there.
In addition, the Message Board, which has a limit
of 150 messages, was completely filled with spam items as well.
Over 70 had to be deleted by hand so that the board could accept
new postings. Actually the board clogs up every night - my morning
routine is to have my first cup of coffee while deleting messages.
Everyone's time is being wasted - the spammers spend all their time
posting messages that will never be seen, and I have to spend hours
a day (I delete messages about every two hours when the board is
filled again) and many legitimate posters try to make posting when
the board is jammed, wasting their time. The solution of course
is to make everyone who wants to post something register and use
a password, but I have staunchly refused to go that route.
There are plenty of banner slots open for December if you want to
advertise your holiday show or CD or other cabaret related items.
Unfortunately the small home-page side bar banners are nearly sold
out through Christmas - last year we had a lot of slots open and were
offering special deals to sell the squares, perfect for promoting
a CD. Ads and banners of all other sizes, prices and shapes are available
on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website - costing from as little as
$37 per week (3 week regular size banner) to our super special "2000
page" super-sidebar ads running $125 per week (price drops to $100
per week after the first 2 weeks). There is an advertising plan available
to meet just about any budget, and members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
get discounts and rebates as well - SILVER members get $20 off their
first banner in a membership year and GOLD members a 20% discount
on all ads in a membership year (discounts/rebates do not apply to
the $25 sidebar ads). Your ad could be seen up to 6000 times a day
- by folks interested in cabaret. And an ad on the CABARET HOTLINE
ONLINE website means your event or CD is mentioned in every issue
of the newsletter, sent out twice a week to 2500 (note we dropped
the "nearly") subscribers as long as the ad or banner is running.
As I say, it is the ad program that keeps on giving!
We're still looking a sponsor for John Hoglund's AFTER DARK section
and and one slot is available right now for Carla Gordon's HEARTLAND
CABARET section on the website. Sponsorship is via special exclusive
SUPER SIDE-BAR ads on these pages. Click on the button marked BANNER
INFO at the top of every page on the website for details. Proceeds
from the ads go to support these sections.
I was back at MAMA'S on Saturday night and ran into the new owner
once more and now have even more news: When renovations are complete,
MAMA'S will be able to present more cabaret shows - two shows at the
same time again. A few years back the fire department decided that
since the patrons in the back cabaret room would have to pass through
the front cabaret room to reach one of the exits in case of emergency,
only one room could be used at a time, cutting the clubs schedule
nearly in half. So now the office area, at the back of the piano bar
section, will be converted to a second cabaret room (slightly smaller
than the other back cabaret space) and the current front cabaret room
will be converted to a lounge area. They are already busy renovating
the basement of the club into office space. And all construction and
renovation is planned to have a minimum impact on shows and piano
bar activities.
Can you believe? I need only two more memberships to reach the 400
mark! There have to be at least two folks out there who will join
today to relieve my tension and anxiety. Actually there are 5 subscribers
who sent me e-mails the past two weeks promising to "mail in a check"
but only one has followed through so far - member number 397. A simple
SILVER membership still costs only $20 - it has been $20 since the
membership program started in 2001. Click on the button marked JOIN
HERE at the top of every page on the website - if you object to "flash"
style buttons or live in a third-world country where the computers
are not powerful enough to display flash images, there is a blue jpg
button just above the line that says LATEST ISSUES OF THE NEWSLETTER
that will take you to the same page on the website detailing all the
levels and benefits of membership. Craig Coursey has promised to buy
me a drink when we hit 400. Not to worry, he can easily afford it.
No room in this issue for "reviews" but I did see Jose Luis' show
last night, with special guest Fatima, at the new MUSIC BOX SHOWROOM
at the BROADWAY BABY BISTRO & PIANO LOUNGE at 7:00 pm and really enjoyed
the show. The club is just opened and they are doing their best to
get all the kinks and wrinkles out before it officially opens in a
few weeks. Daniel and I, in addition to our drinks, enjoyed the "sampler"
plate - Nathan's Hot Dog, White Castle Burgers, Chicken Wings and
fries - cost about $10.
Other shows seen since Thursday: Christine Pedi at
the METROPOLITAN ROOM on Friday (not to be missed), Karen Mack &
Michael Holland's GASHOLE HOLO-O-MATIC at THE DUPLEX on Saturday
(I've missed them - I shall return - loads of fun), and POOR BABY
BREE last night at DON'T TELL MAMA (a truly unique cabaret experience).
Check each club's schedule for upcoming dates.
Now on to the news - this is our second largest issue ever, so read
on carefully, since you won't want to miss out on any event news.
See you after the holiday - next Monday.
NOW FOR SOME NEWS ABOUT CABARET
In an effort to cut down on "repeated" events, except for announcements
of programs offered by cabaret membership organizations, and shows
where guests change regularly, cabaret news items will usually appear
just once in the newsletter in abbreviated form and linked to a full
article on the CABARET NEWS page of the appropriate location on the
website. Events advertised on the website will be mentioned in every
issue, and events offering discounts to members of CABARET HOTLINE
ONLINE are mentioned in every MIDWEEK issue.

ABOUT CABARET NEWS IN THE NEWSLETTER, BLOG AND WEBSITES
How do you get an item posted in the CABARET NEWS section of the CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE website and in the newsletter? It is really quite simple.
Just e-mail me a press release of at least four or
five paragraphs, giving the complete information on your show, CD
release or other cabaret related event. Include photos in jpg or
gif format if available. Please send me complete information - and
do not merely e-mail me a copy of your flier or a reference to a
website. By the way, I usually trim quotes from reviews from the
press releases I receive before using the item on my website or
in the newsletter, so don't count them when putting together the
four or more paragraphs. If you don't have a press release, just
click here: http://www.svhamstra.com/PressRelease1.shtml
and fill out the information as completely as possible - or use
the items asked for as a guide to the information I need.
Just send in your press release or listings request
in simple txt format if possible (the format I write these issues
in and use for the website), and send any photos as attachments,
not imbedded within the e-mail. And, please, please don't send,
instead of a press release, one of those e-mails with all those
annoying html links (with multi-columns, embedded photos, distracting
backgrounds, etc.) Do not send simply a .jpg of your post card.
Do not send us one of those "e-vite" things that require us to "click
to open" and lead to a web page somewhere. I never open them! The
more information the better - it is easier for me to trim the release
than to hunt and google websites for more information.
We usually run articles about 2 to 3 weeks before
event date if possible so it is wisest to send your release about
4 weeks in advance. Because of the large number of items received,
we can only use news of event just once, so we try not to get too
far ahead in the news. There are a few exceptions to the "just once"
rule:
+++ If the event is advertised on the website it will
be repeated in every issue of the newsletter
+++ If the event offers a discount to members of CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE it will be included in each MID-WEEK issue of the
newsletter.
+++ Major benefits where ALL proceeds are given to
the charity named will be mentioned in every issue as well as major
cabaret events like cabaret festivals and galas.
+++ We also include at least once each week those
regular (monthly, weekly, etc.) events with guests who change each
performance, like SETH'S BROADWAY CHATTERBOX, BOB EGAN'S MONDAY
SHOWCASE and the like.
IT'S TIME TO GO
At the top of this newsletter I promised that you would read things
in this issue you will not find published anywhere else. Did I keep
my promise?
I realize that there is probably far more information
here than you might be able to digest in one reading, but please
keep in mind that for the performers mentioned, CABARET HOTLINE
ONLINE is one of the few publications that spread the word about
their shows and performances. To them, that item about their show
is most important, and the fact that every issue published is also
posted on my website and on the blog means two additional places
where the show information can be found by fans and search engines
(Google, etc.) alike. Your banner ads and membership donations make
this all possible.
One more reminder - all current memberships for CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE

benefits. Basic membership (which can be upgraded at any time with
full credit) is $20 (SILVER). You membership dollars support the website,
the newsletter, the blog and other activities of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.

of cabaret.
And that is just about the way it was.
