<h5>The Art of Cabaret</h5>
If you’re a fan of the American Musical Theater, you’ve probably heard of the genre known as Cabaret. Cabaret offers audiences a chance to hear performers, many of them steeped in theater practices and repertory, in a relaxed and intimate setting. Cabaret is all about a singer’s connection with you, the audience. It’s all about ‘breaking the fourth wall’-and that’s the excitement inherent in this format.
