Lindsey Brett Carothers And Devin Ilaw Lead Next Madame's Soiree

Cabaret patroness Madame Mathieu has selected Lindsey Brett Carothers (Bring it On, Wicked) and Devin Ilaw (Miss Saigon, Les Miserables) as guests of honor at the November edition of Bistro Awards Critics' Pick Madame's Soiree. The show is now in its fourth hit season at The Duplex. The Broadway duo will be joined on the program by a distinguished group of emerging artists from a variety of disciplines.

The Soiree will be held at The Duplex Cabaret Theater on Thursday, November 21 at 9:30pm. Described by critic Gerry Geddes as "an Ed Sullivan Show for a new generation", this "variety show with an avant garde twist" is as unpredictable as the patroness herself. Each eclectic evening features a group of rising stars in stand-up, poetry, dance, songwriting, and performance art while the Broadway guests accept creative dares that arise from Mme. M's insane imagination.

Hosted by nine-time MAC Award-nominated songwriter Drew Fornarola (STRAIGHT, VeggieTales) with music direction by Michael A Ferrara (Wicked), this Soiree will feature the Vetanda Dance Collective, songwriter Billy Recce, comedian Jenna Winnett, actor / playwright Jeff Riberdy, and selections from "an American pantomime" in development by NYC Panto. This is the 24th edition of the show, which has already featured over 200 individual artists and 40 Broadway guests.

The Duplex Cabaret Theatre is located at 61 Christopher Street. Tickets are free with a reservation and there is a two-drink minimum. For reservations please call 212-989-3015, or visit https://www.theduplex.com/site/calendar
