CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE #031103 - Monday, November 10, 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 plus more news, breaking stories
and notes. The MID-WEEK issue, normally sent on Thursdays, includes
more news, breaking stories and notes, news on shows offering discounts
to members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE, plus mini-reviews on shows I
have seen.
The cold
weather has arrived - whatever happened to "Fall" in NYC? Last week
I wrote that the trees outside my window had changed from green to
gold. In less than we week they changed from gold to bare! We will
get a little relief from the subfreezing nighttime temperatures in
mid-week, but meantime, I am searching for my longjohns.
It was so
cold here this weekend, I stayed home on Saturday night. I really
needed a break, since I had attended at least two shows a night, every
night since last Sunday - and no two shows in the same venue any of
those nights. This coming week, except for tonight, I have nearly
the same full calendar.
SAD NEWS - WES MCAFEE
Longtime
NYC-based musical director, accompanist and arranger Wes McAfee passed
away on Saturday morning, November 8th after fighting a gallant but
unfortunately losing battle with lung cancer. There will be a memorial
some time in the near future, details still to be arranged.
OFFERING A DISCOUNT? PLEASE
LET ME KNOW
Every day
I get another note from a performer who has decided to offer a special
show discount to members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE. I have trouble
keeping the MEMBER DEALS page on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website
(http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/)
up to date. I am hopeful that more performers will offer these discounts
outside the NYC area (where permitted) so that the members outside
of NYC can take advantage of this special membership benefit. Remember,
unless your show is sold-out far in advance, giving a discount to
members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE does not cost you anything - and
you don't only sell that empty seat, you may gain a new fan, who will
come to your future shows! Plus, your show will get a mention in the
MID-WEEK issue of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE and a listing on the MEMBER
DEALS page. If your are offering a discount for your show to members,
and your show isn't listed yet on the MEMBER DEALS page, let me know
as soon as possible.
DO YOU HAVE A HOLIDAY-THEMED
CD?
Once again
CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE is listing holiday-themed CDs on a special
page of the website for those looking for that special "stocking-stuffer"
or the perfect CD to have on hand for those holiday events that need
music in the background. If you have a holiday-themed CD (commercially
produced & available), let me know - with a link to your website or
the web address where it can be purchased. And of your holiday CD
is already listed please check if the link is still correct and working.
You need not be a member of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE to be listed on
this page - but your support would be appreciated.
DO YOU HAVE A HOLIDAY-THEMED
CABARET SHOW?
I will also
be adding a special section to the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website
(http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/)
listing holiday-themed shows around the country, and will include
these show listings in the newsletter after Thanksgiving (November
27th). Send in your listing - but please include complete information
and do not simply send me a copy of your flier or show card.
LOOKING FOR CLUB SCHEDULES
Early every
Monday morning go through the club schedules sent to me, and then
I jump from website to website of clubs on my list all around the
world to collect and update information for this newsletter. But please
note that there are a few clubs that do not send me a schedule - and
do not have a website. Here in NYC, THE TRIAD, DILLON'S and the WEST
BANK do not mail or post schedules, and in Los Angeles, its THE GARDENIA.
All these clubs have regular cabaret shows on their schedules, but
I simply have no way to get this information easily. So, if you have
a show at any of these venues, it is a good idea for you to send me
an e-mail with the information directly. I cannot promise to use all
items received, but I will at least have the news.

With Blossom
Dearie postponing her return to DANNY'S SKYLIGHT ROOM (342 West 46th
Street, NYC - 1-212-265-8133 - http://www.dannysgrandseapalace.com/),
cabaret shows have been scheduled to fill in. Unfortunately, these

Party Girl) on Saturday, November 15th at 7:00 pm and Sunday, November
16th at 6:15 pm. Marianne is one of Broadway's top singing teachers,

Lyle Lovett, Comden & Green, Jule Styne, Sigmund Romberg, and Kathie
Lee Gifford! among others. Director is Scott Barnes. There is a $15
cover, $10 food/drink minimum.
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. I have news ready
to print about two new cabaret venues - already in operation - but
one contains no reservation phone number or cover information, and
the other did not include the exact street address.

IT'S TIME TO GO
Tonight I
am off to MAMA ROSE'S (219 Second Avenue, NYC - 212-533-0558 - http://www.mamaroses.net/)
for Scott Barbarino & the Cosmopolitans at 7:00 pm. I am still working
out my schedule for the coming week. Stay tuned.
Thanks once
more to all the folks who sent in their membership donations these
past weeks. We are now listing almost 350 members, as we make our
way the way towards our 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.
