UPDATE
ON SHOWS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR JUDY'S CHELSEA
With the sudden closing
of JUDY'S CHELSEA in March, several performers with shows scheduled
for the room in the months of April & May had to find new venuesand
dates for their presentations - many after they had already sent out
expensive mailings. CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE is listing these shows
here through the end of May as we receive information.
Ruben Flores performed two sell-out shows at JUDY'S CHELSEA and
was in the process of booking more dates when the club closed. So
he has re-booked at DANNY'S SKYLIGHT ROOM (342 West 46th Street, NYC
- 1-212-265-8133 - http://www.dannysgrandseapalace.com/)
with shows on Wednesdays, May 28th and June 25th at 9:15 pm, and Monday,
June 30th at 7:00 pm. Matthew Ward is musical director and the show
is directed by Phillip George. This is the young Mexican-born vocalist
I told you about a few months ago - his vocals are fantastic and he
has charisma to spare! There is a $12 cover, $10 food/drink minimum.
San Francisco's Shawn Ryan was booked for shows in June at the now-closed
JUDY'S CHELSEA, so he has been booked at THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE
(61 Christopher Street, NYC - 1-212-255-5438 - http://www.theduplex.com/)
on Mondays, June 2nd & 9th at 9:00 pm. This will be his New York Cabaret
Debut. Shawn recently completed a very successful "Month of Sundays"
in April at San Francisco's PLUSH ROOM. There is a $15 cover, 2-drink
minimum.
Another show, originally scheduled for JUDY'S CHELSEA has found a
new home. After a year and half of playing the Legendary Judy Garland
in Charles Tolliver's play "Judy and Me," Peter Mac is taking to the
stage for two nights to perform in Peter Mac "Is a Friend of Judy's"
at REGENTS (317 East 53rd Street, NYC - 212-593-3091) on Tuesdays,
May 20th & 27th at 8:30 pm. In this show, Mac plays "the other side
of the rainbow," celebrating Garlands musical style and great wit.
There is a $10 cover, $12 food/drink minimum.

bookings at the brand new cabaret room operated by the Genesius Guild,

30th & 31st at 9:00 pm. The cover charge of $18 will be waived if
