Life is a Cabaret

In song, life can be a cabaret. Rarely is it a cabaret in reality. But last evening, at the Museum of the City of New York, guests were transported to place where one could truly believe life is a cabaret. During a rousing night of song, headlined by Blithe Spirit's Christine Ebersol, performers Nancy Anderson, Stephen Bogardus, Brigid Brady, Karine Plantadit and Michael Winther lit up the stage with Irma la Douce, Folies Bergères, The French Song and Find Me a Primitive Man, among other classics.

It was a fitting celebration of musical history for a museum that contains a Tony Award-winning collection of theater artifacts, including handwritten manuscripts by Eugene O'Neill, costumes from musicals including A Chorus Line and Fiddler on the Roof and documentation that chronicles the complete history of New York City theater from the latter part of the eighteenth century through the present.
