Lindsey Brett Carothers, Josh Walden Headline Next Madame's Soiree

Cabaret patroness Madame Mathieu has selected Lindsey Brett Carothers (Bring it On, Wicked), and Josh Walden (Ragtime, A Chorus Line) as guests of honor at the May 17th edition of Bistro Awards Critics' Pick Madame's Soiree. The Broadway duo will be joined on the program by a distinguished group of emerging artists from a variety of disciplines.

The Soiree will be held at The Duplex Cabaret Theater on May 17 at 9:30pm. 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. Each eclectic evening features a group of rising stars in stand-up, poetry, dance, songwriting, and performance art while the Broadway guests accept creative dares that arise from Mme. M's insane imagination.

Hosted by seven-time MAC Award-nominated songwriter Drew Fornarola (off-Broadway's STRAIGHT) and directed by Tyler Spicer (PharmaBro), this Soiree will also feature storyteller Mary Theresa Archbold (winner of the Soiree's Denovan Residency for Cabaret), filmmaker Ben Bogard, songwriters Lauren Gundrum and Brandon Lambert premiering songs from Inappropriate, choreographer Talia Putrino, and comedian Gus Tate alongside Carothers and Walden, who will be performing as his alter ego, Mister Man. This is the 15th edition of the show, which has already featured over 170 individual artists and 35 Broadway guests.

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/#165335 or www.theduplex.com
