Review: A TOAST TO STEVE & EYDIE at Zankel Hall Is a Triumph of a Toast

Steve & Eydie were dynamite, separately and together. A TOAST TO STEVE & EYDIE on March 18th was a superb salute to these singers, and a hell of a good show, thanks to performers David Lawrence (their son), Debbie Gravitte, and a giant orchestra.

The Gay Uncle is Back at Rendezvous

The Gay Uncle, Jeffrey Robert, is back at the Rendezvous with an illustrated twisty, turny journey through pills, sex, show business and the interconnectedness of us all. Jacqueline Susann's CLASSIC of Trash Literature is the starting point but we will be speeding along through a land filled with Ankhs, Judy Garland, Barbiturates, Dory Previn, Backstage Drama, Charles Manson, Breast Cancer, Poodles, Sharon Tate, Wig Fights, Russ Meyer, Patty Duke and so much more. Buy a cocktail, get some snacks and settle in for an evening of song, gossip, booze and dope. Think of it as a live CliffsNotes for the High School of ne'er-do-wells. The library is open.

BWW Review: Because He Can, Shawn Moninger Presents Cabaret Filled with Humor, Heart and Spirituality at the Metropolitan Room

It took 30 years for Shawn Moninger, a Unity minister and longtime technical director with four MAC awards, to move out of the booth and onto the stage. His show Because I Can (which has been running monthly at the Metropolitan Room since last November) is more a one-man Off-Broadway comedy show than typical cabaret. Almost without exception, the opening of a cabaret show is the weakest. Performers tend to warm up around the third or fourth number. That was not the case at the February 27 show, or as Moniger put it, 'the Senior Citizen Happy Hour.'
