Featuring the vocal talents of four of New Orleans' rising theatre talents, it's a musical journey through the Broadway and pop songbook, with old favorites and new surprises.

Conceived by Richard Arnold and Sean Patterson, who also serves as Writer and Director. Musical Direction by Frankie Kelly.
"It's really interesting to see where the musical compass of a younger generation of cabaret stars points; this is not your mother's sacrosanct Rogers and Hammerstein Revue, but it stays true to the great cabaret tradition of selecting songs (both from newer Broadway shows and the pop charts) with lyrics that tell personal stories and speak to the audience through the vocalists. This may be the brave new world that keeps the art form of cabaret alive and vibrant!" Barbara Motley, Le Chat Noir
