Ellen Foley and Robert I Rubinsky to Bring CLUB DADA/KABARET KAPUT to Dixon Place This Month

Ellen Foley and Robert I Rubinsky will return with their acclaimed show Club Dada/Kabaret Kaput to Dixon Place (161A Chrystie Street on the Lower East Side) with two shows on May 24 and 25. Tickets are priced at $25.00 and can be purchased on www.dixonplace.org or www.ovationtickets.com

Club Dada/Kabaret Kaput originally was presented at LaMama right before the pandemic shut down and the May dates begin a residency for the show at its new home, Dixon Place with added performances being announced soon.

Two ancient vaudevillians are forced to keep performing by outside forces and their own EGOS! The voice of a talking head controls their every move. Belting out tunes and hoofing, they are getting older by the minute somewhere outside of space and time-hanging in a strange Dadaist world-they are Kaput!

Under the direction of Tom Aulino, musical direction is by Charly Roth, choreography by Robin Carregan and the Weimer voice over is Jonathan Freeman (the voice of Jafar in Aladdin).
