SHOWTUNES & COCKTAILS Returns to The Jefferson, 1/23-3/12

After a blockbuster year of big crowds and big voices, Show Tunes & Cocktails at The Jefferson begins its second year as DC's only monthly sing-a-long of theatre tunes on Monday, January 23.

Pianist extraordinaire Glenn Pearson, a mainstay of the Washington social scene, leads the open sing-a-longs in The Jefferson's Quill Bar with a vast repertoire of theatre music.

Upcoming Show Tunes & Cocktails will be held:
Monday, January 23 (7-10pm) - with special guests Kevin Stephen McAllister (Two Gentlemen of Verona, a rock opera at The Shakespeare Theatre and Brother Russia at Signature Theatre) and Ashleigh King (Hairspray at Signature Theatre).

Monday, February 13 (7-10pm) - with special guests Washington theatre couple Tracy Lynn Olivera (Ragtime at The Kennedy Center & on Broadway, The Sound of Music at Olney Theatre Center) and Evan Casey (The Hollow & The Boy Detective Fails at Signature Theatre).

Monday, March 12 (7-10pm) - with special guests Jamie Eacker (Hairspray at Signature Theatre, A Christmas Carol at Ford's Theatre) and David Jennings (Chicago, Anything Goes at Toby's Dinner Theatre).

During the last year, more than 1,000 area residents and visitors have flocked to this storied hotel to shed their inhibitions, connect with their inner diva, and belt out wonderful music with other theatre lovers and theatre makers.

In a setting both sophisticated yet casual, the evening also stars specialty cocktails and featured appetizers, with The Jefferson generously donating 20% of the proceeds to support the programs and services of theatreWashington. Discounted parking is available.

The Quill Bar at The Jefferson is located at 1200 16th Street, NW. Admission is FREE.
