One Hit Wonders & Minor Music Makers

Not every Broadway composer has a string of hits like Rodgers and Hammerstein. Some have only one or two home runs but those standalone shows are some of our most beloved musical theatre classics. This evening celebrates shows like Li'l Abner, Half a Sixpence, 1776, Man of La Mancha, Promises, Promises, Hair, Carnival, The Music Man and more. Hear "76 Trombones", "Love Makes the World Go Round", "The Impossible Dream", "Aquarius", and a kaleidoscope of songs from those tunesmiths who made it to Broadway with their once(or twice) in a lifetime shows!

Featuring returning Paul Hope Cabaret Company members Richard Paul Fink, Pantelis Karastamatis, Whitney Zangarine, Lauren Salazar, Tamara Siler, and Amanda Passanante. And introducing the voice of Jude Hebert, and our fabulous swing Laura Smolik. Music direction by Debbie Rice Wylie.

Time: 7:30pm - Doors at 7:00pm

Tatiana Eva-Marie - Paris Je Taime!

Tatiana Eva-Marie is a transatlantic bandleader, singer, and actress, born in Switzerland to a musical family, based in Brooklyn. Her mother is a classical violinist of Romani heritage and her dad is a musician and film composer.

Tatiana lived in Paris from the age of 15 where she fell in love with the music and the city of Paris and earned her living singing on the streets of the city.

Her interests have led her to explore a wide range of musical styles, from 1930s pop to modern jazz. Tatiana Eva-Marie's singing is always inspired by her own French and Balkan heritage; a love for the Parisian art scene era spanning the 1920s to the 60s; a passion for Gypsy music; and a deep connection to the Great American Songbook.

Tatiana's passion for the swirl of music that has thoroughly permeated the city of Paris, and for the city itself, is the focus of Paris Je Taime!

Paul Hope Cabarets Presents
Coming Up Roses

Jule Styne wrote music that was Broadway at its brassy best. The 50's were perhaps his best decade as he wrote shows that were high points in the careers of Broadway's beloved stars such as Carol Channing, Mary Martin, Judy Holliday, and Ethel Merman. Styne's songs from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Peter Pan, Bells Are Ringing, and Gypsy have been loved for decades by singers as well as audiences. Diamond's Are a Girl's Best Friend, Neverland, Just in Time, The Party's Over, Everything's Coming Up Roses, and Together Wherever We Go are just a few of the gems that you'll hear in this cabaret. Let Us Entertain You!

Featuring returning favorites Whitney Zangarine, Tamara Siler, Laura Kaldis, Amanda Passanante, Seth Cunningham, and Richard Paul Fink. Paul Hope is pleased to introduce Chad McCallon to the company. Music direction by Robert Lewis. And your master of ceremonies, Paul Hope!
