Following the success of his first cabaret show, Levin to London, FabIan Hartwell is proud to present the debut of his new show, FAB is half my name in New York City. Just short of being a full-length musical about himself, the Prince of the London cabaret scene explores the finer, more fabulous things life has to offer.
Amy Anders-Corcoran directs FAB is half my name, which will also feature
Tory Ross (Bway: Cry-Baby, 9 to 5 Film: SATC2). The evening will be accompanied by James Cunningham.

Christopher Gattelli. An accomplished cabaret performer, Fabian regularly performs in London and has taken his solo shows as far as Australia and New Zealand. He is a graduate of the Australian National Drama School (NIDA). While at NIDA he played John Hinckley in Assassins. Theatre Credits include Mack & Mabel (Broadway Theatre, Catford), My Fair Lady, The Rocky Horror Show, Jesus Christ Superstar, Spirit of the Dance (UK Tour) and Linus in Snoopy!!!
