Marty Thomas,
Kate Pazakis and
Brian J. Nash will host Mostly Sondheim!, the Duplex Cabaret Theatre's evening of entertainment and open mic held every Friday evening from 11 PM to 4 AM.
"Mostly Sondheim! is a fun-filled evening of terrific music that ranges from Broadway showtunes to R&B Soul. Hosted by New York theatre veterans Nash, Pazakis and Thomas, the energy of the evening is as unpredictable as the setlist! These three dynamite entertainers have just as impressive a list of credits to their names as the caliber of their respective talents and both host and performer. Throughout the evening they will perform periodically while welcoming audience members to the stage to join in the fun!"
