I have the honor of being one of the performers in this show, which promises to be a truly fantastic evening!

And it's only a $20 cover charge! Crazy!

Those of you in the Los Angeles area should definitely check it out!

FYI, two wonderful performers were accidentally left off the flyer: Brooke Wilkes and Shelly Goldstein. As soon as the updated flyer gets posted on the EightyEights' MySpace, I'll be sure to update it here.

The small child in me just went "Omigod Debbie Gibson!!" :) That sounds like a great show- I am passing this along to some friends in L.A.

I wish they would do this in Washington DC but there is NO CABARET space in the area.

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Popular, if you attend, will you call Deborah "Debbie" for me? And let me know what she says?

Also - when I can eat again, that menu looks AMAZING!

www.eleven.la! I'd make reservations but what would I do? Order water and a slice of lime?

Shira: Actually, you should make reservations if you want a table. You can get bottle service!

I'm not sure what an "invimate" evening is, actually...

There a nice little blurb in Playbill today:

He did something like this in NYC a few years ago, it was fun. I wish I could go but I am on the wrong coast.

I don't care much for Schwartz' music, though I do enjoy some of his songs, but how I wish I were in LA to see this if only for the performers' list.
Levi Kreis is an amazing singer, I'd pay big money to see him singing showtunes.

HOLY MOSES!

Didn't I just read recently that He just did the same thing and the tickets were like $110 or something??

Bargain indeed!!! - just to see all that talent together on one stage!

I think "Popular" may be the hit of the whole night!

The event is apparently already SRO, so if anyone wants to go, you're going to have to get there early and stand by the bar. (Not a bad option, 'cause the bar is awesome.)

And of course, you could call every day to see if the restaurant has had any cancellations, I suppose.

Just so you guys can see how lovely the venue is. (The cabaret space is in that gorgeous restaurant/loft area.)
