Emily Klein and CJ Eldred Headline 9th MADAME'S SOIREE

Cabaret patroness Madame Mathieu has selected Broadway's Emily Klein (Parade) and CJ Eldred (Book of Mormon - Tour) as the guests of honor at the March edition of the Bistro Awards Critics' Pick Madame Mathieu's Soiree.

The Soiree will be held at The Duplex Cabaret Theater on May 18 at 7:00pm. Described by critic Gerry Geddes as "an Ed Sullivan Show for a new generation", this "variety show with an avant garde twist" is as unpredictable as the patroness herself. The eclectic evening will feature a group of rising stars in stand-up, poetry, dance, songwriting, and performance art while Eldred and Klein will accept creative dares that arise from Mme. M's insane imagination. The evening concludes with a party in the outer bar, because the only thing more interesting that Madame's show is her audience.

Hosted by five-time MAC Award nominee Drew Fornarola (off-Broadway's STRAIGHT) and directed by Tyler Spicer, the evening will also feature comedian Shon Arieh-Lerer, drag artist Jan Sport, dancer Talia Putrino, playwright Tom Sanchez, songwriter Wes Zurick, and a performance by the cast of PharmaBro in addition to Eldred and Klein.

The Duplex Cabaret Theatre is located at 61 Christopher Street. Tickets are $10 online and $15 at the door. There is a two-drink minimum. For tickets please call 212-989-3015, or visit https://www.purplepass.com/#155388 or www.theduplex.com
