The 10th annual Max's Cabaret will once again be hosted by Ludmila (aka Laurel Paluck), appearing throughout the evening in a variety of increasingly wilder costumes. Also returning is The Cake Diva serving up luscious desserts to the audience, and there will be a demonstration by the Trent Latin and Swing Dance Club. The Cabaret Band will be joined by versatile pianist Rob Phillips on the Grand Piano. Jeanette Sanderson of the Lemon Sisters will be singing jazz standards, including the Cabaret's traditional closing song, "Is That All There Is?".
Max's choreography is inspired by Bob Fosse, the Ziegfeld Follies, old Hollywood musicals and the infamous Moulin Rouge. "My chorus girls are out there having a great time; they give it their all and then push it just that much further. The audience really picks up on the spirit, and boy, the audience gives it right back to them. It's a beautiful relationship!" laughs Max. "It's good fun and everyone leaves happy!"
As a special 10th Anniversary treat, V.I.P. tickets will be available for the Cabaret. V.I.P.s will enjoy table service of gourmet offerings provided by local restaurants and caterers. Max suggests getting your $25 tickets early, as they go quickly and seating is limited. These advance tickets are available at Maximilian's Tshatshkes, at 220 Brock Street (call 750-1690) and The Blue Tomato at 168 Hunter Street W. If you just want to enjoy the show, tickets are $10 at the door.
Market Hall Performing Arts is this year's beneficiary of the charitable event. Past recipients include Mysterious Entity, Trent Radio and The New Theatre. Says Market Hall's Director of Development Karen August, "Professional entertainers, artists, and local people come together to have a good time and raise money for good causes that benefit our whole community." Last year, August was a featured performer, giving the excited and vocal audience her version of a classic burlesque Balloon Dance.
The Cabaret Band is Rob Phillips with Amanda Mackey, Max Cab veterans Charlie Glasspool, John Mather and Andrew Neddow, and Douglas Schalin.
The evening features favourites from Max's Cabaret Teasers (short performances put on at local bars and café's), as well as new local talent, including Rochelle Andrews, Wyatt Burton, Sophia Darling, Kait Dueck, Jube Fenn, Anna Gartshore, Lyndele Gauci, Christopher Grey, Carolyn Kay, Kris Keating, Ryan Kerr, Sean Lott, Leigh Macdonald, Melanie McCall, JD McCallen, Ali Pinky, Jarret Prescott, Jeanette Sanderson, Malika Scott, Candace Shaw, Kate Story, Kevin Veals and Jenel Waddems.
Food sponsors include B.E. Catering, Andrea Barrett, Black Honey, Kubo Restaurant and Lounge, Chef James Moore, Rare Grill House, St. Veronus, and The Sapphire Room.
