Charles Busch Continues Lincoln Center's AMERICAN SONGBOOK Series Tonight

Returning for its 17th season, Lincoln Center's acclaimed series American Songbook continues to broaden its scope in celebrating the best in American singing and songwriting as interpreted by top performers and rising stars, with events at three Lincoln Center venues. The Appel Room series continues with gender illusionist Charles Busch tonight, February 26, 2016 at 8:30 p.m.

Experience the giddy enchantment of Busch's world in the exquisite Appel Room in THE LADY AT THE MIC, an intimate evening of song and stories. A two-time MAC Award winner, Tony nominee, and recipient of a Drama Desk Lifetime Achievement Award, the actor, playwright (Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, The Tale of the Allergist's Wife), novelist, screenwriter, director, and drag legend has happily added "vaudevillian" to the list over the past years.

This brand new show created for Lincoln Center's American Songbook series has Busch, along with his invaluable longtime musical director Tom Judson, paying tribute through song and personal reminiscence to five extraordinary and much-missed women: Elaine Stritch, Polly Bergen, Mary Cleere Haran, Julie Wilson, and Joan Rivers. This show is the perfect next chapter in a career that has made Busch one of the most sought after cabaret acts in the city.
