FOR CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street,
NYC - 212-206-0440 - http://www.metropolitanroom.com/
) on July 6th you may be too late! As of about 9:00 am, Thursday June
7th, all 100 seats were reserved. Tickets only went on sale around the

But if you wish you had ordered but didn't get around to it, don't lose
heart - there may still be a chance. Tickets ordered by not paid for

don't want you to send in a payment unless I actually have a seat

FOR THE TICKET ORDER FORM
THERE WILL BE NO WAITING LIST SEATS AVAILABLE AT THE
CLUB THE DAY OF THE SHOW - those without tickets should not come to
THE METROPOLITAN ROOM on the 6th to see if there were any "no shows"
- we will not be able to sell any tickets that day even if there are
seats available.
Tickets are $35, but if you rejoin as a 2007-2008 Member
the ticket price drops to $25. But wait! There is even more: If you
join and pay for a ticket and a membership at the same time, the cost
is $20 for the ticket and $20 for a SILVER or $75 for a GOLD membership
- $40 or $95 COMBO price (saves you $15!) (the club's standard 2-beverage
minimum - not included in the ticket price - applies).
I have booked some really great performers for this
year's show - some newcomers along with some of the top names in cabaret.
Scheduled to appear are multi-award winning Lennie Watts, the delightful
Alice Frazier from Erie PA, 2007 MAC & BISTRO Award winner Jay Rogers,
Francesca Amari from Michigan, Bruce Clough - popular in theater &
cabaret in Philadelphia, 2007 MAC STANDUP COMEDY Award winner Michael
Brill, 2007 MAC AWARD FEMALE & MALE DEBUT winners Esther Beckman &
Rob Langeder, the legendary Karen Saunders, acclaimed vocalist Karen
Oberlin, international stage/TV/cabaret singer/dance Ruben Flores
and one of NYCs favorites, Sue Matsuki (who is helping us with the
program planning). Steven Ray Watkins will serve as musical director.
Piano-bar entertainer David Pellegrene will be at the piano before
the start of the show, starting around 6:00 pm, to add a note of festivity
to the evening as attendees are being seated.
An important part of the show will be the presentation
of the 2007 JEFF MATSON AWARDS, created to honor the memory of songwriter/writer/director/producer/graphic
designer Jeff Matson. In 2005 the first award was presented to D.C.
Anderson, and last year's recipients were Trudi Mann and Hector Coris
(who will both be attending the show). This year we will honor two
more very worthy recipients. Each has been an inspiration, a resource
and a good friend to cabaret performers: Collette Black (booking manager
UPSTAIRS at ROSE'S TURN) and Joe Regan, Jr. (best friend a cabaret
performer could have). Joe has even offered to perform at the show!
In addition, CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE will present our first DOTTIE
BURMAN award, to be given to singer/actor/teacher/songwriter Maria
Gentile, who will perform one of her songs.
I sincerely hope that as many of you as possible will
attend the party. This just might be the last time we have such an
affair, so try not to miss it. METROPOLITAN ROOM manager Lennie Watts
and owners Chris & Steve Mazzilli have been totally helpful in making
sure that it will truly be a festive and memorable occasion.
If you cannot attend the event - or have an upcoming
event after July 6th that you wish to promote, or want to congratulate
Colette or Joe, you might want to run an ad in the CABARET HOTLINE
ONLINE 17th BIRTHDAY PARTY program book (1/6 page for $25 - SPACE
IS LIMITED - 6 PAGES ALREADY SOLD!). For more information and to reserve
