"Broadway Bombs II" will be presented at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788) on Thursday, March 11th at 8:30 pm. Celebrating the musical treasures unearthed from within some of the Great White Way's most infamous duds, Broadway Bombs 2.0 is a loving comic tribute to the phenomenon of the musical flop. Featuring wise and worldly historical perspective courtesy of the Joe Allen Players, Broadway Bombs 2.0 runs the gamut from the The Grass Harp to Glory Days. The show also features a number or two from a certain Stephen King inspired fiasco. The Joe Allen Players cast includes Avery Ragsdale, Jermaine Blackwell, Danny Visconti, Jessica Anderson, Alece DeLuca and Dana Mierlak. Direction is by John Gray and musical direction is by Barbara Anselmi. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
Gay Marshall will reprise her concert series, "PIAF: Queen of Heart", at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Thursday, March 11th at 7:30 pm. The concert series is based on Marshall's CD, Gay Marshall Sings Piaf, La Vie l'Amour. The show is Marshall's original take on Piaf, not the traditional perception of her as a tragic icon. Instead, she presents a versatile powerhouse of heartwarming and heartbreaking emotion, full of personality and humor. She will be accompanied live by a five piece ensemble. The original arrangements by Marshall and Paul Bevan are a modern take on a classical theme. Marshall, who played Diana Morales in A Chorus Line on Broadway and created Grizabella in the French production of Cats, has lived and worked mainly in Europe since she fell in love with French photographer, Jean-Louis Blondeau (Man On Wire). There is a $25 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

QUICK CABARET PERFORMER TIP:
Make good friends with the staff of the venue where you are performing. They can truly assist in making your show a success (including some fill-in applause and impromptu laughter when it might be needed). And they will make a lot less noise during those ballads if you let them know they are important to your show.
