- By Rob Lester
When Cabaret Newbies – or those who just fell of a turnip truck from Macaroni Falls, Minnesota or Boggy Depot, Oklahoma –and somehow landed in NYC --- ask me what cabaret show to see and they have way more choices than dollars, and don't know a lot of performers' work,

Love Song
- Details
- By Rob Lester
As the old saying goes, "Seeing is believing." That may not be 100% the case in the plot of Love Song, a play at The Seeing Place Theater --- no, it's not a musical. But it IS about different forms of love, in its way.

Fifty years after her death, "Norma Jean/Marilyn Monroe" is still alive, though now she is living in the body of Louisa Bradshaw who wonderfully portrays the famed icon in Siren's Heart...Norma Jean & Marilyn in Purgatory, written by Walt Stepp, who also composed the original music/lyrics, and directed by Lissa Moira. I saw this show last year when it premiered at Theater for the New City and a year later, it's still great!

In reinvigorating cabaret/musical theatre theme shows, the best NEWS this year so far is spelled M-U-S-E.
