ANOTHER Tony Award winner at ACT!

Make me a promise. Raise your right hand...go on, I'll wait...
Ok--promise me that if you can't make it to any other theatrical event this year, you'll come to ELAINE STRITCH--AT LIBERTY AT AUSTIN CABARET THEATRE. (September 3-6, 2008)

Why?

First of all, this legendary lady won the Tony Award for this very show...that YOU get to see close-up and personal in our beautiful, intimate showroom at The Mansion at Judges' Hill.
Secondly (as if you needed another reason), you're seeing this show which includes dinner for only $79. You can't see a Broadway show for that price, let alone eat!
Third, this is literally one of the most well-crafted evenings of theatre I've ever witnessed.
...and finally, we just learned that instead of touring the show (which was the original plan), Ms. Stritch has decided to do the run in London, come directly here to AUSTIN CABARET THEATRE, and then "that's it." This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
There's an order form link you can click on at the top right of this blog...HERE'S THE SCOOP--
Tickets to ELAINE STRITCH--AT LIBERTY AT AUSTIN CABARET THEATRE
are currently only available with a Season Ticket purchase with no limit! (ie--you can buy one Season Ticket and 20 for Elaine if you want...and some have!)
AFTER July 16th, IF there are any tickets left, they will go on individual sale. ORDER NOW to guarantee that you have seats.

I'm obviously OUTRAGEOUSLY excited about this show. You will understand when you come to see it (remember? you raised your right hand and promised!).

Don't miss this entertainment icon who emblazoned songs like Ladies Who Lunch and I'm Still Here on the theatrical map.

Austin Cabaret Theatre...it really is the "toniest" night in town!!!
"Everybody, RISE!"

It was RIDICULOUS and it was SUBLIME!!!

Well, no one can say that Austin Cabaret Theatre doesn't offer something for everyone! The two nights of From the Ridiculous to the Sublime were loads of fun, with a variety of song, dance, silliness, and props.



LOTS of props.



Not to mention five costume changes, but who's counting?! Thanks everyone for the terrific feedback, and the lovely, warm reception. I was pretty sure you all would like selections such as "Who Can I Turn To," but when I threw in tunes about not wearing underwear or lesbian seagulls, who knows what can happen? Needless to say, everyone reacted just as I'd hoped, and I appreciate the enthusiastic responses.

Please feel free to leave your thoughts on a post here to share with others.



Some major "thank you's" that I didn't get to share on show night--


The Kathy Womack Gallery

Green Mango Real Estate

The Lind Family Foundation

Brian Jenson

my Band, and the incredible Dustin L. Struhall

"Los Dos Nicoles"--the zany Nicole Shiro and Nicole Marosis...I COULD NOT have done this without you two...

and the AMAZING staff at Sterling Affairs/The Mansion at Judges' Hill who had to deal with my craziness, and also had to clean up after the confetti cannons, fire-eating, and molting feathers.

Lots of feathers. Sorry, PETA.


I've posted a few pictures here (in case you didn't come to the show...you know who you are...

and so do I, incidentally.)

...and look for some video soon. I think I might actually have enough technical wherewithall to get it loaded onto the blog...



Again, my many thanks to all who attended.
If you had HALF as much fun as I did, then it was a HUGE success!!!

XOXO
