In the show, McNight tackles the topics of society, sex, religion, sex, hypocrisy, sex and lust in song and commentary. The entire show is an updated "party" record from the 1950's made famous by artists like Belle Barth and Rusty Warren, only OFFENSIVE little more risque. This show is definitely not for children, but it's great fun for everyone else. The songs are by song writers from pop-to-Broadway-to-country, including: Randy Newman, Stephen Sondheim, Chet Atkins, Noel Coward, Kander & Ebb, Tom Lehrer and many new songwriters with songs written especially for this show. Sharon McNight first rose to prominence in San Francisco's cabaret scene during the 1980's, winning five (5) Cable Car Awards for Best Cabaret Artist in rapid succession.

N.E.: "CAROL CHANNING" IN CONCERT IN PROVINCETOWN

Richard Skipper, the 4-time MAC Award winning celebrity tribute artist, brings his critically acclaimed show "CAROL CHANNING" IN CONCERT to Cape Cod for a 4-Night Only Special Engagement prior to this Fall's Off-Broadway run. The performances will occur Monday August 30th through Thursday September 2nd at The Madeira Room Vixen located at THE PILGRIM HOUSE (336 Commercial Street, Provincetown, MA - 508-487-6424) . "CAROL CHANNING" IN CONCERT is a fully staged and researched musical montage celebrating the career and persona of the unique theatrical legend. Blending Channing's standards with original material and other familiar songs sung by Skipper in a spot-on Channing-on-Broadway perfection, the musical evening surveys Channing's life with many stops along the way. The show features a 3-piece band (Casey Sanderson on piano, Susan Goldberg on bass; Michael Gross on percussion) and is directed by long-time NYC actor/director Mark Robert Gordon. Making his return to Provincetown for the first time in 8 years, Skipper is fresh off a joint appearance with Carol Channing preceding a 1-night standing room only engagement of "CAROL CHANNING" IN CONCERT in New York. The buzz created by the New York concert has prompted demand for a longer-term Off-Broadway production, which is slated to open in New York City this Fall in conjunction with bookings worldwide. The Provincetown and upcoming Off-Broadway productions of "CAROL CHANNING" IN CONCERT are produced by The Camelback Kid. A portion of proceeds from each ticket will benefit The Dr. Carol Channing & Harry Kullijian Foundation For The Arts. Tickets are $35.

QUICK CABARET PERFORMER TIP:
Your e-mail list is one of the most important tools in promoting your show. I trust you are collecting e-mail addresses along with the names of folks who come to your show. But protect your list when you send an e-mail by using the BCC (blind carbon copy) address line on your e-mail form. That way, folks on your list will not see your entire mailing list when you send out your promotions. (I get at least one e-mail a day that exposes these addresses - one of them from a "professional" publicist who should know better). This BCC line is sometimes hidden from you - AOL, for one, makes this an option that you need to look for and set in the e-mail preferences section. By the way, it is extremely bad form for you to copy someone else's e-mail list when they forget to hide their it. But of course, cabaret people would never think of doing that.
