Never been to Mostly Sondheim?

Hosted by Brandon Cutrell and Kate Pazakis with Ray Fellman at the piano, the 2006 MAC nominated show, MOSTLY SONDHEIM, is an open-mic, musical theatre party. The rules are simple: Audience members are not restricted to Sondheim. They may anything they choose as long as it's from a musical or written by someone who has written a musical. The party is every Friday night in the cabaret theatre at THE DUPLEX from 11pm until 4am. In the words of Mr. Sondheim, "we'll sing 'em all, we'll stay all night."

MOSTLY SONDHEIM was featured in TIME OUT NEW YORK's recent cover story about New York's cabaret scene. In the October 13-19, 2005 edition of TONY, Adam Feldman wrote:

"The Duplex's second-floor showroom is home on Friday nights to MOSTLY SONDHEIM, an event popular with young musical-theater and cabaret talents. (The title is a misnomer: Almost nobody sings Sondheim.) Host Brandon Cutrell keeps a list of those who want to perform with pianist Ray Fellman. He lubricates the evening with off-color patter, but people here take their solos seriously- sometimes to dire effect. A clean-cut young man gets up to sing 'Anthem' (from CHESS), holds his big note too long, gets dizzy, loses his breath and nearly faints. After everyone figures out that he is not faking this drama, he's assisted offstage."
