 Topic: Cabaret theme suggestions...Posted: 12/03/07 at 11:42pm |
|
I'm currently putting together cabaret style performances to be performed every other month in addition to our season. What I would like to do is have a theme for each one that I do so that I can 1) market it to our audience. 2) use it to expand our audience base. 3) Distinguish one from the other and give it a flare! Does anybody have some FUN ideas?
Here are a couple that I have so far:
Comedy Tonight! - A night of musical comedy songs!
W-O-M-A-N - Basically a "Diva" night. Bringing together some of our leading ladies over the years.
Once Upon A Time - Music from fantasy based musicals
Broadway's Darkside - Music from the villains of the stage.
Anyway, that's a few... any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I need a lot of them. THANKS!!!

GOLD'N MY EAR: Academy Award winnings songs.
RED, WHITE & BLUES: Patriotic Songs. ONE HIT WONDERS: Songs by artists who've since disappeared. LEFT OUT: Songs from Broadway musicals that were edited out of the film versions. FABULOUS FLOPS: Songs from Broadway musicals that failed. (There's gotta be ONE decent song from each of them.) |

Is cabaret usually music? When we did "cabaret" we served pie... and the show was a bunch of skits.
Suggest a group of "Inspirational" songs, if that is what cabaret is.

We've done Cole Porter, the Gershwins, & songs from crossover musicals (wish we'd waited a year on that one, now that SWEENEY's coming out on film). We're contemplating a WWII cabaret for next year - the "Onstage Canteen" <g>.

There's a little bit of diva in all of us. Some just have a larger helping than others.

Cabaret can refer to many different types of entertainment in one show. Here in the Americas it is widely known as a showcase for Jazz Vocalists and musical theatre selections, but there is no rule that states any limitations. A cabaret is simply a variety show, originally performed in taprooms, nightclubs and restaurants. The original word meant "small room."

Larger than life is just the right size.
