Are there really any hard and fast rules when it comes to cabaret? If so, who made them? And why should we follow them!? An award-winning, rule-breaking performer with a multi-octave voice like no other, Brian Charles Rooney humorously challenges notions you might have about cabaret, wielding a unique voice suffering from an entertaining case of multiple personality disorder!

Regionally, he won this year's Connecticut Critics' Circle Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance of Candy Darling in POP!
