CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
#031002 - Monday, October 6, 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 cabaret listings
for around the world, and also includes information on all the banner
ads running on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website. The MID-WEEK issue,
usually sent on Thursdays, will concentrate more on news, breaking
stories and notes and mini-reviews of shows seen, plus shows offering
discounts to members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.
Its a brisk
fall day here in NYC - not a perfect day to be indoors writing a newsletter,
so I shall do my best to mention all the items I can is as little
time as possible, so I can get outside and breath in the fresh air
and get some much needed sunshine.
I have had
a really busy few days since I sent out the last issue on Thursday.
I saw the amazing Gotham Girls at DANNY'S SKYLIGHT ROOM (342 West
46th Street, NYC - 1-212-265-8133 - http://www.dannysgrandseapalace.com/)
on Thursday night, then did four-in-a-row at THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE
(61 Christopher Street, NYC - 1-212-255-5438 - http://www.theduplex.com/)
- Toby Blackwell at 7:00 and the DC Anderson revue at 9:00 on Friday,
then the wildly funny Rock Albers on Saturday at 5:00 and the lovely
Jeanne MacDonald at 7:00 on Saturday. On Sunday I was back at DANNY'S
SKYLIGHT ROOM (342 West 46th Street, NYC - 1-212-265-8133 - http://www.dannysgrandseapalace.com/)
for two shows - Lynn Robinson at 2:00 and Laura Pearson at 4:00 pm,
and a quick dash across the street to DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th
Street, NYC - 1-212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/)
for Connie Pachl and Bill Daugherty at 5:30 pm. Original plan was
to catch Danny Creed's show at MAMA'S at 8:30 pm, but my energy ran
out (as well as my ability to handle any more 2-drink minimums) so
I headed for home.
No cabaret
tonight (I need a night off) but then on Tuesday its the amazing Ida
Zecco - one of Boston's Best at 7:00 pm at THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE
(61 Christopher Street, NYC - 1-212-255-5438 - http://www.theduplex.com/),
then a quick cab ride uptown to try to get to Marian Heller's last
show of her current run at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street,
NYC - 1-212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/)
at 8:30 pm. Wednesday, its time to catch Goldie Dver's new show at
THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 1-212-255-5438
- http://www.theduplex.com/) at 7:00 pm, then Sharon McNight at MAMA
ROSE'S (219 Second Avenue, NYC - 212-533-0558 - http://www.mamaroses.net/)
at 9:30 pm. That brings us to Thursday at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West
46th Street, NYC - 1-212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/)
at 6:00 pm for Lucille Carr-Kaffashan's show. Whew - just thinking
about it all gets me exhausted!
FORGOT AGAIN?
Several folks
have written that they would be sending in their 2003-2004 membership
donation soon, so this is just a reminder. I have been counting on
your help in making CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE possible. Hopefully you
can keep your promise this week.
CABARET ITEMS OF NOTE
AND ANOTHER NEW PIANO!
At THE DUPLEX
CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 1-212-255-5438 - http://www.theduplex.com/)
this time - and I heard it played for the very first time at Toby
Blackwell's hilarious show on Friday night (review coming in the Mid-Week
issue). Rick Panson, who co-owns the place, was around to hear it
played in the show, and we chatted briefly afterwards about how proud
he is of the cabaret offerings that booking manager Phil Bond has
attracted to this rejuvenated venue. It is great to see how management
gets behind a cabaret booking manager, and I see it time and again
at most of the clubs I visit. Any other new cabaret-room/piano-bar
pianos out there? Let me know.
REMINDER: HENLINE MEMORIAL OCTOBER 17th
The Memorial
Service for Darrell Henline, founder of CABARET SCENES magazine, will
be held on Friday, October 17th at 6:30 pm at ST. THOMAS CHURCH (Fifth
Avenue at 53rd Street, NYC - http://www.saintthomaschurch.org/).
Mr. Henline passed away on Thursday, September 25th, after a long
bout with cancer.
CORRECTION: FIVE BANNERS FOR FIVE SHOWS IN A ROW AT THE DUPLEX!
I didn't
read far enough on the schedule when I said in last week's issue that
four shows in a row at the same club are running banners on the CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE Website at THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher
Street, NYC - 1-212-255-5438 - http://www.theduplex.com/).
It is really five shows - on Friday nights at 9:00 pm "NOT FOR THE
SQUEAMISH: the lyrics of D.C. Anderson," with Lennie Watts, Julie
Reyburn and Rob Sutton, joined by Musical Director Stephen Randoy
and bassist Ritt Henn is running an ad. Then, on Saturdays at 5:00
pm, award-winning comic/singer Rock Albers' brand new show, "Rock
2: The New Rock Albers Show" has a banner. At 7:00 pm on Saturdays
there's Jeanne MacDonald and musical director/arranger Rick Jensen,
also running an ad all month. The Saturday show at 9:00 pm, with Baby
Jane Dexter in her unprecedented eighth consecutive (and final) month
of ANOTHER SPRING (THEN & NOW) is also a CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE advertiser.
Finally, on Sundays at 5:00 pm, Kelly Briggs and Jerry Christakos
present their newest version of LOVELY - and they are running an ad
as well. Thanks to all for their continued support of the CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE newsletter and the website!

I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR 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,
new pianos, etc. Add a website link if available.
A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS

items will be repeated as long as the banner is running. There is
a more complete article on nearly all these items in the BREAKING
NEWS section of the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website (http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/).

by now. Please let me know at once if you have NOT received it. Meantime,
about 50 CDs have also been sent to GOLD and above members - with
another 50 going out this week for sure. And, I found, in entering
the names of this year's members, about 9 GOLD members of last year
who were never entered into the database - which means that they did
not received their free CD last year (unless I addressed them by hand,
but I don't recall doing that). If you joined as a GOLD member last
year and never received your free CD, please send me your name and
correct street address (I found a lot of errors in the addresses as
well) and I'll send off one immediately - I will have about 20 CDs
left after I send all the CDs to this year's eligible members so it
is not a problem.

be busy working. There are about a dozen BREAKING NEWS items waiting
to be posted as soon as I can scan a few more photos. And finally
I think I will have time to re-post all the reviews I have written
over the past few months so that you will have an easier time referring
to them. Once that is complete, I can add a link from any news item
that appears in the future regarding the shows I have reviewed for
you to check out. It's a huge project that I plan to do over the next
week or so.
Thanks once
more to all the folks who sent in their membership donations these
past weeks. We are now listing over 300 members, three-quarters the
way 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.
