HAYDEN TEE PERFORMS AT MAMA ROSE'S
The
award-winning Australian cabaret artist and New Zealand native Hayden
Tee brings his solo cabaret show to New York's newest cabaret venue
MAMA ROSE'S (219 Second Avenue, NYC - 212-533-0558 - http://www.mamaroses.net/).
His latest cabaret show traces aspects of his life in Australia and
his native New Zealand. Directed by Les Solomon, with Musical Direction
by Christopher Denny, performances are set for Sunday, January 18th
at 4:00 pm, Friday, January 23rd at 9:30 pm and Sunday, January 25th
at 7:00 pm. There is a $15 cover charge plus a 2-drink minimum.
The show
takes a look at the way escapism dominates our lives-through television,
musicals and movies. Mr. Tee's remarkable mix of comic and serious
numbers is linked by his own unique blend of dramatic interpretation
and comic madness that has brought him much acclaim over the past
twelve months. Winner of the New York Award at the 2002 Cabaret Convention,
Hayden, who is part maori, uses his chameleon-like abilities to take
the audience on an intense and fascinating journey.
