Kiem Time: A Jew(ish) Cabaret
The Duplex, NYC, July 23, 2018
Reviewed by Chris Struck for Cabaret Scenes
Hannah Kiem was amazing in a way that few other cabaret performers dare to be, which, in a way, is what makes cabaret shows a fun medium to explore. She tackled what it’s like to be Jewish in modern society when the latest craze is posting photos of everything not kosher on social media—like it’s the first time we’ve ever seen Swiss cheese melt. Despite that and her zeal to be a “gay icon,” she still managed to find a nice Jewish boy to marry. However, that doesn’t mean she’s changing her name, even if people mispronounce it as “Keem” when it is really “Kime.

” Happens all the time.
She started off the show with a friendly reminder on how to pronounce her last name by changing the surname in “Miss Marmelstein” (Harold Rowe) to Kiem.

She also seemed to have every bit of the song’s history memorized, the most important bit being that it introduced a young Barbra Streisand, whose songs and roles would heavily influence Kiem’s Jewish-themed cabaret, including a Funny Girl medley. Even better, though, was her reason for including her performance of “Omar Sharif” from this year’s Tony winner for Best Musical, The Band’s Visit. She hit the melancholic nostalgia created by Katrina Lenk well from the opening lines, “Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif came floating on the jasmine wind.
”
Joining Kiem were talented guests Eric Williams, Josephine Spada, and Hannah Solow. Spada and Solow were fun on “You Don’t Own Me” (John Madara/David White), while Williams joined Kiem for “Dear Sweet Sewing Machine” (Jerry Bock/Sheldon Harnick).
