CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
#030802 - PART ONE - Monday, August 11, 2003
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!
This is a MONDAY Issue
of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE which includes the regular "Major Rooms"
and "Other Rooms" listings for around the world, and will also give
information on all the banner ads running on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
website (http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/).
The MID-WEEK issue, usually sent on Thursdays, will concentrate more
on news, breaking stories and notes and mini-reviews of shows seen.
The NYC area is on the verge of breaking a record - for the number
of consecutive rainy days! So far we have had rainfall on 12 days
in a row, and if it rains today (as predicted) it will put us one
day shy of the record. Last summer at this very time we were experiencing
a severe water shortage, and restaurants were forbidden to serve water
unless requested, sidewalks could not be washed, lawns could not be
watered, etc. Go figure!
In fact, the heavy
downpour on last Thursday night caused a quick end to my planned "Piano
Bar Tour." I made it to DILLON'S (245 West 54th Street, NYC - 212-307-9797),
where I caught the tail end of the "Joan & Hal Show," and then fabulous
piano bar and open mic with Ricky Ritzel at the piano. Leslie Anderson
was the singing waiter, and while enjoying a great Chicken Caesar
Salad, Ricky and Leslie entertained. Much fun.
But then it was 8 blocks to walk in heavy rain to my second & third
stops on West 46th Street at DON'T TELL MAMA & DANNY'S, and it was
already 11:30 pm (I lingered a bit longer than planned) and my subway
stop was right along the way - so I yielded to circumstances and headed
back to Queens. Needless to say, a "rain date" for the rest of the
tour will be announced shortly.
Meantime, I have been asking around, in piano bars and clubs, as to
how the draconian "no smoking" rules have affected business. A few
months into the new system has seen an apparent 30% to 50% drop in
business, as reported to me by waiters, performers and club owners/managers.
There has been no smoking in the NYC cabaret clubs in many years,
so cabaret business seems to be unaffected, but the poor folks in
the piano bars have really suffered. There have been staff cutbacks
right and left, and one waiter told me that one big problem seems
to be the loss of tourist business, especially from Europe and Asia.
Tourists seem to be either skipping NYC or spending fewer nights there,
opting to seek their entertainment in other cities like New Orleans,
etc. This has had an impact also on Broadway as well. We shall see
how this all turns out. By the way, I have never smoked, so my only
stake in all this is the full employment of by friends in the service
industry and the continued profits of the clubs I write about.

In between issues, I have been updating my database with all the new

a few days more to finish the task, and the I can start mailing the

Another deal: If you place a banner ad on the website, and also offer

COMING NEXT ISSUE
We will be sending out
the MID-WEEK issue in a few days which will include reports/reviews
on shows seen, as well as more news items, more cabaret listings and
a rundown of new BREAKING NEWS items added to the CABARET HOTLINE
ONLINE website (http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/)
since the last mid-week issue. This week I will be reviewing shows
seen a second time, including shows by Baby Jane Dexter, Natalie Douglas,
Susan Neuffer & Ronit Ray.
Now I must send this issue
off - once again I have been chained to this computer since about
7:00 am and my eyes are getting a little bleary. Tonight I am off
to KING KONG ROOM at the Supper Club (240 West 47th Street, NYC -
1-212-921-1904 - http://www.KingKongRoom.com/) to catch Phillip Officer's
show at 7:00 pm and then make a mad dash to The Backroom at DILLON'S
(245 West 54th Street, NYC - 212-307-9797) to catch Milla Ilieva's
show at 8:30 pm. It will be my first time seeing cabaret in either
room, so I am looking forward to both shows in anticipation.
Thanks once more to all the folks who sent in their membership donations
these past weeks. We are now more than halfway towards out goal of
400 members for 2003-2004 - of course it would be great if we could
reach an even higher number, but we have many more months to go before
the next membership year.
And that is just about the way it was.
