A sold-out crowd was on hand to honor cabaret’s one-and-only Sidney Myer at NYC’s The Cutting Room, where he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Popular Song Society (APSS) at its 2026 Gala. The event was produced by APSS president Linda Amiel Burns and Glen Charlkow. Michael Lavine was music director and the announcer, and Marilyn Lester was the stage manager.

The festivities began with a video presentation by Michael Stever. That was followed by performances by 23 of cabaret’s finest.
