The inimitable Tony nominee CHARLES BUSCH, two-time MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets) Award winner & drag legend, presents an eclectic program of songs both contemporary & from the past. New York Times critic Stephen Holden wrote, “He has the gift of comic gab like few other entertainers. Innately funny, endearing & acutely intelligent, he also has claws. For an audience, the possibility of being scratched, although remote, lends his humor a bracing edge.” Charles combines hilarious personal reminiscence, character sketches & superb storytelling through song into one glittering & glamorous evening. He is the author & star of such plays as The Divine Sister, Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, The Tribute Artist & The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife, which ran for nearly two years on Broadway & received a Tony nomination for Best Play. He wrote & starred in the film versions of his plays, Psycho Beach Party & Die Mommie Die, the latter of which won him the Best Performance Award at the Sundance Film Festival. In 2003, Mr. Busch received a special Drama Desk Award for career achievement as both performer & playwright. He is also the subject of the acclaimed documentary film The Lady in Question is Charles Busch. He has performed his cabaret act in many cities including San Francisco, Provincetown, Palm Springs, New Orleans, Atlanta, Philadelphia, London, Paris & in New York at Feinstein’s/54 Below. In the winter of 2016, his show The Lady at the Mic premiered at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s American Songbook series.
