Hooray For Hollywood (Richard A. Whiting) will start off the evening tonight at Carnegie Hall as Maestro Steven Reineke leads The New York Pops in an evening of The Best of Hollywood Blockbuster Film Scores. You can't get a ticket on Fandango or use your movie pass, but you can possibly snag a ticket at Carnegie Hall for this spectacular music event. The orchestra was rehearsing this afternoon.

CABARET LIFE NYC: The Power of the 'Pan' and Catch-Up Show Reviews from a Long Cabaret Winter
If you are even a semi-regular reader of this column of reviews, you know that about every three or four months, I post a compilation of observations of shows from the previous quarter of the year. This cabaret critiquing mash up happens for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that I admittedly see too many cabaret shows for the amount of time I have to promptly review them (and then, of course, the usual writer's procrastination sets in). So I have to prioritize the timeliness of the reviews based on the prestige of the performer, the length of a show run, the strength (or lack thereof) of the performance, etc. The quality of the shows in these compilations—which can range from a half dozen to a dozen reviews in one shot—are usually a mixed bag of outright raves, qualified positives, and constructive pans (I'm not a fan of the word “negative” in the reviewer lexicon). With that in mind here are a collection of cabaret show reviews going back to the start of a very harsh winter.
