Broadway's 40 theatres aren't the only places to catch performances from your favorite stars! Well after Broadway orchestras begin their overtures, ensemble members take their dance breaks, and performers belt out their eleven o'clock numbers, the party continues at various cabaret venues throughout New York City. Below, BroadwayWorld brings you some cabaret highlights for this week as picked by our theatre editors, including: James Monroe Iglehart: How the Heck Did I Get Here?; Jason Kravits: I...A Life; Melba Moore; Brady vs. Partridge: The Bardy Bunch; and 54 Sings Grand Hotel: The 25th Anniversary Concert at 54 Below.

When I was growing up, I Love Lucy was a morning television staple, even though it had been off the air for many years. Reality shows have since replaced pretty much all of the stuff I grew up on, at least on the major networks, but you can still find the re-runs on stations like Me TV, which cater to the boomer generation with their lineup of classic programs. If you were lucky enough to be at the Peabody Opera House this weekend (April 17-19, 2015), you had the opportunity to see a recreation of two episodes of this iconic show with their presentation of I LOVE LUCY LIVE ON STAGE. This touring production is one you should definitely check out if you're into nostalgia, or just need a good laugh.

From 1951-1957 and beyond, the 'I Love Lucy' show captured the hearts of Americans each week with side-splitting laughter and a star that couldn't shine brighter - Lucille Ball. With husband and co-start Desi Arnaz, former vaudeville stars Vivian Vance and William Frawley, the black-and-white TV show shot straight to the top and has remained in the hearts of audiences even up to today. Now the Curran Theatre presents I Love Lucy Live on Stage as a tribute to that iconic show and the redhead that made it all happen. Playing now through November 23, this valentine to Lucy and Desi fans is a must see for all ages.
