On Saturday, October 22, the incomparable Broadway legend Elaine Stritch takes the stage with her show Elaine Stritch at The Town Hall at 8PM. Ms. Stritch comes to The Town Hall following her triumphant engagement at The Cafe Carlyle. Rob Bowman is the musical director

The Broadway Cabaret Festival concludes on Friday, October 28th with A Tribute To Judy Garland and Gene Kelly. The evening will feature interviews on stage with Lorna Luft about Judy Garland, and Susan Stroman about Gene Kelly. The performers include: Broadway dancer Noah Racey (Never Gonna Dance, Curtains), Elizabeth Stanley (Million Dollar Quartet), Carole J. Bufford (11 O'Clock Numbers at 11 O'Clock at Feinstein's at the Regency), and the New York Song and Dance Company, with additional performers to be announced. Ross Patterson is the musical director.

"The Broadway Cabaret Festival, now spread over three weeks rather than one weekend, will give each of these concerts a chance to more fully have the limelight," said Siegel. "And the addition of the live movie musical tribute to Judy & Gene is an exciting new show that combines what we do best at Town Hall: Inform and entertain. Having Lorna Luft and Susan Stroman as my co-hosts to talk about these iconic movie stars and have the very songs we're talking about performed by today's great stars are very exciting. The combination of song and dance in this musical tribute, with the added ingredient of a night full of iconic movie numbers live on stage, should provide quite a capper to The Town Hall's Seventh Annual Broadway Cabaret Festival."
