I'm happy to announce that this week's guest judge will be Danny Gurwin from Broadway's The Full Monty and Urinetown. He'll be gracing our stage to do a number as well. If you missed last weeks show, check out the highlight's on youtube at www.youtube.com/user/cabaretidol or on facebook at www.facebook.com/cabaretidol

a very exciting new LIVE competition called Cabaret Idol. It's a bit like American Idol, except the audience comes to the cabaret, watches the show, and votes for their 3 favorite performers. There will also be celebrity judges. There were auditions for the contestants, so it should be top-notch entertainment. The winner will get his/her own show, plus a recording contract and other perks. Sounds fabulous to me!

To make reservations, email James at myinfinitemonkey@yahoo.com and include 1. your name 2. how many tickets you would like

3. who you are coming to support.

It's only $10.00 if you email James, or $12.00 at the door.
