CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE #030908 - Thursday, October 2, 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 the "MID-WEEK" CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE. The MONDAY issue includes the regular listings for cabarets
around the world, and also has information on all the banner ads running
on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website. This "MID-WEEK" issue covers
other news, late breaking stories and notes on shows seen plus listings
of shows offering discounts to CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE members.
The cool weather
has arrived - the temperatures aren't expected to break 70 degrees
(f) for the next few days, and tonight they are expecting frost in
parts of the area. But this is great weather to go to cabaret, and
I have a full schedule for the next few days. How I am going to catch
all the great shows this month has become a puzzle - I have my October
Calendar with me at all times, along with cabaret schedules, and am
constantly juggling dates and times, trying to get everything covered
without a lot of transportation difficulties. First, we start with
some important news items.

ANOTHER NEW PIANO - THIS
TIME IN BOSTON
One of my favorite places to hang out whenever I visit Boston is THE
ENCORE LOUNGE in the Tremont Hotel (275 Tremont Street, Boston, MA
- 617-426-1400) - perhaps because I usually stay at the Tremont Hotel
- in the heart of the theater-club district. Well, following the lead
of CHEZ SUZETTE in NYC, the room has just installed a new piano -
and it will get its first workout tonight, October 2nd with Doug Hammer
at the keys and the lovely Mary Callanan at the mike. The fun starts
at 9:30 pm and continues until 1:00 am - and there is no cover. Many
of the performers from musicals playing in Boston drop by for a drink
and a chance at the open mike - and a lot of regular Boston cabaret
performers can be found there as well.
NEW "LEADING MEN" COLUMN

BETH VALENTI IN FAREWELL
SHOW AT MAMA'S
Beth Valenti will soon be moving from New Jersey to Florida, but before
she leaves, she will be appearing at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th
Street, NYC - 1-212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/)
for two shows - on Saturdays, October 11th & 18th at 7:00 pm. Ms. Valenti
is working, once again, with musical director Dick Gallagher, and director
Jay Rogers. The show has evolved, and this year Frank Wagner on bass
will be added to bring a new dimension to the music. There will be a
$12 cover charge, 2-drink minimum. Here's a change for NYC cabaret lovers
to give the gal a great send-off by catching this show.
I'M LOOKING FOR EVEN MORE
NEWS
I get plenty of show listings sent me - far more than I can possibly
use - it is really difficult trying to choose which ones to run, which
ones to set aside. Sometimes the item itself makes this choice - incomplete
information or just a scan of a flier, neither of which is useful to
me. I would love to have more items from outside NYC, especially NEWS
items - new venues opening, benefits, CD Releases, celebrations, etc.
Add a website link if available.

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.
Please send me complete information - and do not merely e-mail me
a copy of your flier or a reference to a website. With two newsletters
going out a week, I don't have enough time to look these things up,
and often have to simply toss out incomplete items. 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.

mean and extra person or two in your audience, spreading the word
to others about your show.
This offer is not for the NYC area only. CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE members
live all over the US (and Australia & England). And all the members

OCTOBER BANNER SLOTS SOLD
OUT - NOVEMBER SLOTS SELLING FAST
BANNER AD spaces on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website are just about
sold out for October - I have one slot open each week except for the
week of October 19th - the week of the Cabaret Convention here in
NYC. Keep in mind, I limit the ads to 20 banners per week, so if you
plan to order a banner, reserve your banner space as far in advance
as possible. A lot of folks want to start advertising their CDs for
holiday sales in November, so don't delay getting your order in.
Banner ads are displayed at random in two places on nearly all 2,500+
pages. This means your ad could be seen as many as 3,000 times each
day, 21,000 times each week! You can run a banner for 2 weeks on CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE for just $80 - in full color - with a "live link" to
your website, if applicable. That's before any member rebates or discounts.
In addition, those running banners get mentioned every week in the
MONDAY issue of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE e-mail newsletter (current
circulation nearly 2,500) as long as the banner is running.
For information on banner ads, check out the banner information page
on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website (http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/BannerHere.shtml),
or simply send me a note at banners@svhamstra.com
with the single word "Banner" in the subject line and I send the details.
SHOWS SEEN
BARBARA LOWIN AT DANNY'S
Longtime songstress Barbara Lowin is appearing currently at DANNY'S
SKYLIGHT ROOM (342 West 46th Street, NYC - 1-212-265-8133 - http://www.dannysgrandseapalace.com/)
in a performance that epitomizes grace and beauty. Her show, "Everything
I Love" is a simple show, yet virtually overwhelms with elegance and
charm. She and her musical director, along with director Scott Barnes,
have chosen a variety of songs of different styles and Ms. Lowin performs
them as though they were written just for her to sing at this point
in her life. Her patter is witty, yet light and breezy - totally personalizing
each song she introduced. Opening with "Love Isn't Born, It's Made"
(Schwartz/Loesser), she smoothly moved to "Show Me" from MY FAIR LADY
(Loewe/Lerner). Her audience was entranced by the feeling she put
into each lyric. Ms. Lowin shared the range of her life experiences
with songs in German, French and Russian - yet never lost touch with
her mainly English-speaking audience. "In Buddy's Eyes" from FOLLIES
was especially poignant. Other standout songs were the classic standard
"Skylark" and the classic cabaret song "Museum" (Fieger/Blumenthal).
Ms. Lowin has chosen her material wisely, not putting too much stress
on her vocals, and admitting here and there that a particular note
here and there was a challenge. As a voice teacher herself, she never
pushed beyond her range.
You have just one more chance to catch this marvelous lady and this
marvelous show - on Sunday, October 5th at 8:45 pm at DANNY'S SKYLIGHT
ROOM (342 West 46th Street, NYC - 1-212-265-8133 - http://www.dannysgrandseapalace.com/).
The music charge is $15 with a $10 food/drink minimum. (CABARET HOTLINE
ONLINE $5 DISCOUNT AVAILABLE). Treat yourself to a bit of real cabaret
- the way it should be done, by a lady who knows just how to do it
to perfection - and see this show.
JULIE & IRENE AT DON'T
TELL MAMA
I spoke of entertainers in a review of Mary Stout's show a while back,
and listed a few of these marvelous folks that came. Well, add two
more to that list - Julie Sheppard and Irene Soderberg. I saw their
show last night at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 1-212-757-0788
- http://www.donttellmama.com/)
and marvelled at the talent that these California-based singers revealed.
Long-time NYC cabaret-goers will remember Ms. Sheppard for her "Julie,
Julie, Julie" show, a Judy Garland-themed cabaret act that last appeared
in NYC 17 years ago - and won a MAC award. She later relocated to
the LA area. (Ms. Sheppard will reprise that show for one time only
on this Saturday night, October 4th at 8:00 pm at MAMA'S.) With Ricky
Ritzel at the piano, Julie & Irene presented an hour of great singing,
clever "ad-libs" and plenty of fun as they took turns on stage, and
even sang a few duets. Ms. Soderberg did an amazing Ethel Merman tribute
medley, and Ms. Sheppard gave a medley-sample of her Judy Garland
show. With never a dull moment, and lots of sassy belting, the show
had everyone in the room applauding and laughing - totally entertained
by two of the best in the business. Both gals have mellowed a bit
since their last appearances in NYC, and there were moments of poignancy
and heart as well. There were delightful song parodies, and even a
few songs totally unfamiliar to me - and very funny ones at that!
You have just a few chances to catch this dynamic duo before they
fly back to California - tonight, Thursday, October 2nd, and tomorrow
night, Friday, October 3rd - both shows at 8:00 pm at DON'T TELL MAMA
(343 West 46th Street, NYC - 1-212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/).
There is a $15 cover, 2-drink minimum (CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE $5 DISCOUNT
AVAILABLE). The ghosts of Judy Garland, Sophie Tucker, Ethel Merman,
and other great entertainers of the past were dancing in the shadows
during this show. Don't miss this one!
IT'S TIME TO GO - MORE
NEWS & LISTINGS ON MONDAY
After my usual nap, I am off to the city to catch THE GOTHAM GIRLS

I sincerely hope that you will sign on as CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE members
this year. The more members we get, the more services we can offer
on the website and in the newsletter. Your membership donation will
also make it possible to get around to more cities and maybe even
finally be able to compensate some of the folks who have been writing
reviews and assisting in the website work - and maybe attract more
writers to contribute material, news and reviews. And more members
will ultimately mean more shows that offer discounts to our members
- making every membership more valuable.
But most of all, your membership donation is a way for you to encourage
me in my efforts to promote the art of cabaret, and support this newsletter
and the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website (http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/
). Your continued support is truly appreciated!
And that is just about the way it was.
