Mac Is Back In Manhattan

Michael McAssey returns to New York City in an encore presentation of his critically-acclaimed 20th anniversary show from last fall. He will be appearing at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/) on Sundays May 4th & 11th at 9:00 pm, and upstairs at REGENTS (317 East 53rd Street, NYC - 212-593-3091) on Mondays May 5th & 12th at 8:00 pm.

Mr. McAssey is a winner and 3-time nominee of the MAC AWARD for Outstanding Male Vocalist, presented in New York by MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs - http://www.macnyc.com/). He made his cabaret debut in 1982 at THE DUPLEX in New York's Greenwich Village and was one of the first performers to appear at DON'T TELL MAMA where he made his cabaret home for many years. One of Manhattan's first male cabaret stars, Michael also appeared at FREDDY'S SUPPER CLUB, THE FIVE OAKS, and EIGHTY-EIGHT'S.

Michael was the first male cabaret artist to play the Nancy LaMott Room at the BRADSTAN COUNTRY HOTEL, and has appeared at ODETTE'S in New Hope, PA, STUDIO SIX in Atlantic City, JOHN L's in Dallas, TOULOUSE ON THE PARK in Chicago, THE EXPRESS in Fresno, CA and THE GARDENIA in Los Angeles. He makes regular appearances in Chicago at DAVENPORT'S and GENTRY OF CHICAGO, and in Mykonos, Greece at MONTPARNASSE/THE PIANO BAR. He was featured on Broadway in LATE NITE COMIC, Off-Broadway in A HARD TIME TO BE SINGLE and IN GAY COMPANY, and tours of A CHORUS LINE, GODSPELL, I LOVE MY WIFE and BILLY BISHOP GOES TO WAR.

Soap fans may remember Michael as blind pianist-singer George Baldwin on CBS-TV's GUIDING LIGHT. He appeared with Barbara Cook and Patti LuPone in Paris and toured with Ms. LuPone in her nightclub act, THE ARGENTINA TURNER REVUE. In Chicago Michael starred in the hit comedy SHEAR MADNESS and toured with Donny Osmond playing piano for JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT. In 2000 he co-starred as Banjo in THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER with Tony-nominee Andre de Shields at Madison Rep (WI) and hosted the first-ever sing-along concert version of Sondheim's COMPANY for Chicago's Pegasus Players.

A native Chicagoan, Michael now lives in Aspen, CO where he is the musical director and featured performer at THE CRYSTAL PALACE, and appears weekends at THE CABARET AT THE CARIBOU CLUB, a new cabaret room.

His debut CD REQUESTS is available from Original Cast Records and online at Amazon.com.
