Since 1990 Your First, Best, and Only Complete Source of Cabaret News
If it's anything to do
with cabaret, you'll probably read it here first!
The FIRST ANNUAL NY NIGHTLIFE
AWARDS were held on Monday night, the 27th of January, and while the
acts presented were warmly received by the audience at THE TOWN HALL
(123 West 43rd Street, NYC - http://www.the-townhall-nyc.org/),
the temperatures outside were in the single digits, and the short
walk after the show to the post-event party at the Secret Garden of
Trattoria Dopo Teatro chilled me to the bone. I made it to the show
even while recovering from a nasty cold which has limited my cabaret-going
activities for the past several days. I will have a complete report
about the show and party on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website (http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/)
shortly. Currently, the list of winners, announced at the show, is
already on the website.
Actually, I will also
be posting my own choices for the top-20 cabaret shows I saw in 2002
in a few days as well. This article has been delayed because I ended
up with 23 choices, and it has been very frustrating choosing which
three events to drop. I may just have to add two and make it 25!
Meantime, the daily temperatures
have been slowly climbing, and by next week we should be back in the
mid-40s.
We were all stunned this
week to be informed that veteran radio broadcaster Stan Martin, 64,
passed away Tuesday morning, January 28th at Lenox Hill Hospital from
complications following a stroke. A Memorial Service for Stan Martin
will be held on Friday, January 31st at 11:00 am at:
Plaza Memorial Chapel
630 Amsterdam Ave.
(On the West side of Amsterdam Ave., between 90th-91st Street)
New York, New York
212-769-4400
In lieu of flowers, donations
can be made to the ALS Association of Greater New York (116 John Street,
NYC, NY 10038) or the Boys & Girls Republic (formerly the Boys Brotherhood
Republic - at 888 East 6th Street, NYC, NY 10009).
There is a more complete
story, with photo, in the "Breaking News" section of the CABARET HOTLINE
ONLINE website (http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/).
This Sunday, February
2nd from 9:00 to 11:00 pm (ET), on EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN, on
the Radio over WBAI 99.5 FM and on the Internet at http://www.2600.com/offthehook/hot2.ram,
host David Kenney will present his Annual Birthday Broadcast called
"My All-Time Favorite Songs." Then, on Sunday, February 9th, David
will present "A Birthday Tribute to Hildegarde!" You are invited to
email your comments and suggestions to David Kenney at: oldisnew@earthlink.net.
Last Sunday I went to
REGENTS (317 East 53rd Street, NYC - 212-593-3091) for another of
their delightful Sunday brunch shows, and saw an old pal Mr. Ruby
Rims perform - he was filling in for Aaron Lee Battle who had to fly
to California for a family emergency. Host/manager showed me the new
upstairs cabaret room, which is nearly completed for opening on February
10th. Initial plans call for cabaret on Mondays and Tuesdays, and
the first act will be that lovely team of Kelly Briggs and Jerry Christakos
in "Lovely" - one of the winners of the NYC Nightlife Awards. The
area around REGENTS was once a lively center for nightlife, but a
number of new office and apartment buildings built in recent years
has changed the neighborhood completely. It is great to see live entertainment
returning to the area.

March is known as CABARET
MONTH in many parts of the country and even the world - originally
started by MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs) to promote
cabaret attendance in what was normally a slow month in the clubs.
CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE wants to promote CABARET MONTH shows and activities
anywhere, so send in you special press releases for inclusion on the
website and also in the newsletter.
Here in NYC, CABARET MONTH
is normally "book ended" by the BACK STAGE Bistro Awards at the beginning
of March, and the Annual MAC Awards at the end of the month. Look
to CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE to keep you informed of these two special
events, as well as other CABARET MONTH events wherever they happen.

We pass along this note
at the request of the mother of singer/songwriter/pianist Laine Edwards,
who passed away suddenly last year of complications of HIV:
Hi Stu.
I want to thank you for
keeping Laine's site on the web sight. I am still receiving emails
and cards from people who knew Laine. It has really been a blessing
to myself and Laine's brothers. Please if you have a chance, let people
know that it has been so deeply appreciated. So many of the people
with AIDS are left to themselves. Laine was loved by us and so many
other people. I count my self as a privilege Mom to have had Laine
as a son.
Again thank you and I
read your newsletter every time it comes. I also love Cabaret.
Nancy Edwards (Laine's
Mom )
DON'T OVERLOOK THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO PROMOTE YOUR WEBSITE!
Cabaret performers can
also request a link to their website on the Performers Links pages
on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website - you don't need to be a member.
You should check this section just to make sure your name is listed
and properly linked. See http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/CabaretLinksIndex.shtml
While there, see if there
is another category on the page that you should be linked through
as well - Songwriter, Director, Videographer, etc. You do not have
to be a member to have a link on these pages. Please tell your friends
about this section of the website - eventually we hope it will become
sort of a "Cabaret Yellow Pages" section where you can find hundreds
of resources in putting together your show or recording your CD.

How do you get an item
posted in the BREAKING NEWS section of the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
website (http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/)?
Just e-mail me a press release of at least four paragraphs, giving
the complete information on your show, CD release or other cabaret
related event. Include photos in jpg or gif format if available. But
please send me complete information - and do not merely send a copy
of your flier. 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.
