Nightlife, Bistro and MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs) Award-winning artist, Gretchen Reinhagen, returns to Pangea on Tuesday, November 19, at 7 PM, continuing a residency of 3rd Tuesday of the month.
What began as an encore of Reinhagen’s sold out CD Release Show, Take It With Me at the Laurie Beechman in February 2019, has become a brand new version of the show, adding a rotation of special guests and an ever-changing comic monologue. The cabaret will continue to highlight the music of the CD by the same title, with a few of the songs and stories changing each month. Music director is Tracy Stark and bassist is Tom Hubbard. Barry Kleinbort directs.
Each month’s show will have an overlying theme that culminates in a 10-minute comedy monologue riffing on some of the topics Reinhagen is known for on social media such as her dislike of the Paleo diet, a summer of disastrous mishaps, her humorous relationships with her many healthcare professionals, ridiculous observations at the day job and her take on how the Universe is trying to give her material.
Take It With Me is Reinhagen’s debut album, produced by Paul Rolnick and released on her independent label, Raw Diamond Records. Reinhagen has previously presented a wide variety of shows ranging from Great American Songbook standards and musical comedy to pop, rock and blues. She received the coveted “triple crown” of cabaret awards winning the Nightlife Award, Bistro Award and MAC Award for her show Special Kaye: A Tribute to the Incomparable Kaye Ballard also directed by Barry Kleinbort. Her foray into a cabaret that incorporates stand-up comedy with #iBlamePaleo received positive reviews and won her another MAC award in the musical comedy category. She is also a voice teacher, having received a degree in voice from Pepperdine University, as well as a MAC Award-winning director. For more information, visit www.gretchenreinhagen.com
