A tour-de-force Cabaret show with top names in musical entertainment meeting to talk and perform, with songs, stories and recollections of lifetimes and moments in show business, each show is designed around the particular date when it is scheduled, and features special guests who choose songs from the past and recent history of both Cabaret and Broadway that have a relationship to that date, and share their own stories and journeys in an intimate cabaret setting. Beck Lee from Media Blitz described the experience as, “Joel Grey crossed with Charlie Rose, with a soupcon of Bette Midler thrown in for good measure.” Previously held at The Triad Theatre, his upcoming shows are scheduled at The Laurie Beechman Theatre at the West Bank Cafe. Richard also offers workshops on self promotion. He is also writing a book on the history of Hello Dolly! from theopening with Carol Channing to the upcoming Broadway revival starring Bette Midler.
