Sidney’s shows are collections of novelty numbers interspersed with beautiful love songs and heartfelt moments from the theatre, such as Bock & Harnick’s HERE IN EDEN, the opening number to THE APPLE TREE that in Mr. Myer’s eccentric voice, with his subtle acting choices brought tears to the eyes of his house.

This weekend being the Halloweekend in NYC, what else is happening in Cabarets all over Gotham but shows dedicated to witchies, vamps, zombies, and, of course, DISNEY!

Sometimes performing her own spoof lyrics to familiar numbers and other times belting the songs as intended with power and panache, Jakie moved from the 1950s to the modern-day stopping off in each era to make fantastic costume changes and a hilarious mishmash out of the television wasteland.

The hour and a half show, from which the Minnesota queen took really only 1 short break... left the audience breathless with laughter, and then, the moments where Miss R let the audience have it with her broad baritone voice left everyone breathless in another way...

The SWINGIN' WITH THE MOUSE: VILLAINS lineup on Sunday featured performances by vocalists Rossil, Janaya Mahealani Jones, Garrett Clayton, and BEAUTY’s original Gaston - Richard White, all giving forth some of The Mouse’s most famous tunes from the “dark side” with Pablo’s fresh arrangements

And so sweet readers, with the combo of fine dining and even finer entertainment, Bobby has no choice but to give the DIAMOND SERIES: LAURA BENANTI our full … Five Out Of Five Rainbows

It’s a very exciting thing when a new cabaret venue is born, though the main thrust of the new venue looks to be more rock, pop, jazz, blues, r&b but with artists like Reeve Carney, Erika Henningsen, and Mason Alexander Park making appearances there, the Broadway crowds will find their way down to Chelsea… and maybe discover some new artists to love... Chelsea Table + Stage is a beautiful and unique, state-of-the-art restaurant and performance space with a staff that was fantastic and efficient. We were treated like old friends from the moment we came in the door.

With Sarah Joy Kane planning to move with her military man to Florida, this premier in the Original Room at DTM seems to also be the duo’s swan song as well. Color our rainbow a little sad at that thought.

Finally, our favorite of the evening combining the old with the new was the aforementioned ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE with the magical vocals of Martina DaSilva and some of the most unexpected musical stylings within the arrangement.

All in all my darlings, Chloe Perrier is a real Zis & Zat French singer whose lovely voice and consummate musicianship will make lovers of the language out of anyone, especially if smooth, sexy jazz is your jam…

The people in the house who seemed able to take the entire flight with Pam were those avid fans who were more than a few drinks in, and for Rita Lamar, a good old-fashioned set up the joke, deliver the punchline comic, her A-game seemed to be eluding her.

One can never be sure in this uncertain world - especially in show business - of how an acting career will look in hindsight; fortunately, along with all the power as a performer she packs into her slight 5’4” frame, this lady (as it turns out) is also a gifted from the gods songwriter. With more than half her show consisting of her own compositions, Kristolyn Lloyd showed all that she can combine her own poetry with beautiful notes and make songs that soar.
