Amanda Kocher is a pixyish delight with a lovely sense of humor and emotions very close to the surface. She is also, as she revealed in her new cabaret show, bipolar. She discussed this with both wit and honesty as she expressed how the condition has affected her young life and how she continues to struggle with its effects, illuminating facts of her life with well-chosen songs. Under the fine guidance of director Ari Axelrod, and with strong support from music director Alejandro Senior, Kocher gave an entertaining and touching performance.

The wide-ranging songs choices included “Gotta Get Out” (Adam Gwon), which she handled beautifully with attention to its the constant shifting of emotions; a medley of “I Can’t Make You Love Me” and “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,” delivered with sweet sadness; and a second medley of “By the Grace of God” (Kate Perry) and “Impossible Year” (Panic at the Disco), which demonstrated her remarkable phrasing. She even delivered an effective “Defying Gravity” without trying to overwhelm her audience with volume.

Kocher betrayed her lack of experience only in her feeling the need to apologize for her emotions while publicly exploring such personal issues. She became overwhelmed at one moment, which led to her boyfriend bounding on stage to offer reassuring hugs while encouraging the audience to cheer the star; it was a very touching moment earned through its honesty.

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 & Nobel, 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."
