Cabaret. The very name brings to mind an intimate, small café, with singers singing songs of old or telling stories while patrons sip their drinks or cuddle with their sweetheart. A romantic hangout, where time seems to effortlessly stand still while artisans ply their craft. From its origins in France to its use as political commentary in pre- and post-war Germany , to its famous stand-up comedy use in the Netherlands , and finally, to the shores of America , where various forms of entertainment have made the rounds, the venue of cabaret has waxed and waned over the years. But within the last twenty years, the form of cabaret as entertainment has experienced a resurgence in popularity. Don't miss out on getting your tickets today.

From Jazz music, to social commentary, to variety shows, to vocalists as well as instrumentalists, cabaret as we Americans know it in the twenty-first century has been reborn in the forms of theatre and new renditions of old song favorites. Previous, well-known cabaret artisans include Billie Holliday, Eartha Kitt, Charlotte Ray, Woody Allen, Carol Burnett, Bette Midler, Julie Wilson, Barbara Cook, Bobby Short, Andrea Marcovicci, Tony Bennett, Rosemary Clooney, Ethel Merman, Debbie Reynolds, and even the singing talents of Lisa Minnelli. The cabaret was the place to make a name, and many well-known actors and artists began in these small-time ventures.

One well-known talent on the cabaret circuit is Andrea Marcovicci, an entertainer extraordinaire. An accomplished actress of television, film, and theatre, and a singer with fourteen CDs to her name-including her own label, Andreasong-Ms. Marcovicci has performed cabaret to sell out crowds coast to coast for more than twenty years. She has appeared internationally (LICEU opera house, Barcelona ), at the White House, and at several renowned nightclubs across America . Her accomplishments have earned her three Lifetime Achievement Awards.

Ms. Marcovicci's appearances have been set through the end of May 2007. Some performances she will be presenting include I'm Feeling Like A Million: A Salute to the Incomparable Hildegarde, March 30 at the Tilles Center in Greenvale , NY , I'll Be Seeing You... Love Songs of WWII, April 1 at the Reston Community Center Performing and Fine Arts in Reston , VA , and just love... By Request, May 15-26 in the famed Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel in New York , NY .

What makes the experience of cabaret so enlightening that it never quite dies out? In an October 16, 1994 article in The New York Times, Ms. Marcovicci states, "To my mind, the single most important function of the cabaret singer is to preserve the legacy all Americans are heir to-the popular songs of the past.... Many of the songs written for Broadway since the early 1900s would be completely unknown today without cabaret performers and their penchant for collecting."

Come see for yourself and experience a night of divine music, singing, storytelling and, above all, the intimacy of sharing in a piece of Americana. Tickets are going fast!
