In the past six months, KING KONG ROOM at the Supper Club (240 West 47th Street, NYC - 1-212-921-1904 - http://www.KingKongRoom.com/) has gone from zero to ten on the Manhattan showroom Richter scale!

In addition, three Broadway/cabaret superstars will start Monday nights off with a bang with 7:00 pm shows.
