What a fine and quite theatrical evening it was when Thursday at The Mabel Mercer Foundation’s Cabaret Convention.
Hosted by Cabaret greats Jeff Harnar and Andrea Marcovicci, the second program of the New York Cabaret Convention was A Sentimental Journey: World War II Songs.

Cabaret veterans Sally Mayes and Beckie Menzie offer excellence in mayhem and musicality exploring sassiness, particularly from the woman’s point of view.
