Luis Santeiro

Luis Santeiro offers a charming tour through his life in his new show. And oh, what a life it has been, from growing up in pre-Castro Havana to emigrating to the United States to becoming a long-term writer for Sesame Street. (Who could forget “If Moon Was Cookie”?

) Growing up, his introduction to music was his grandfather’s record collection from Piaf (we got a dandy Spanish lyric version of “La Vie en rose”) to Broadway’s versions of Latin songs (a delightful and slightly sarcastic medley of “Mu-Cha-Cha”, “Who’s Got the Pain?

,” and “Latins Know How.”

The performer has a deliciously daffy sense of humor, so the audience was treated to an unexpected version of “Besame Mucho” that saluted a lady named “Bessie Mae Muchin.” He also offered up the now rarely performed “Six Lessons from Madame La Zonga” (James V.

There was a lovely tribute to his family and the passage of time in his homeland.

And he closed the show with a very touching “Que Rreste-t-il de nos amours?” (“I Wish You Love”).

Paul Greenwood provided sensitive and spirited musical support, as well as vocal contributions on occasion. Spending an evening with Luis Santeiro is a lovely way to go.

Bart Greenberg

Bart Greenberg first discovered cabaret a few weeks after arriving in New York City by seeing Julie Wilson and William Roy performing Stephen Sondheim and Cole Porter outdoors at Rockefeller Center. It was instant love for both Ms. Wilson and the art form. Some years later, he was given the opportunity to create his own series of cabaret shows while working at Tower Records. "Any Wednesday" was born, a weekly half-hour performance by a singer promoting a new CD release. Ann Hampton Callaway launched the series. When Tower shut down, Bart was lucky to move the program across the street to Barnes & Noble, where it thrived under the generous support of the company. The series received both The MAC Board of Directors Award and The Bistro Award. Some of the performers who took part in "Any Wednesday" include Barbara Fasano and Eric Comstock, Tony Desare, Andrea Marcovicci, Carole Bufford, the Karens, Akers, Mason and Oberlin, and Julie Wilson. Privately, Greenberg is happily married to writer/photographer Mark Wallis, who as a performance artist in his native England gathered a major following as "I Am Cereal Killer."
