NiteLife Exchanges is a streaming video interview show, with hosts Scott Barbarino and Tony Javed. In this edition they welcome James Beaman.
Actor James Beaman is returning to the cabaret stage for the first time since 2002, when he, Goldie Dver and David Maiocco received the MAC Award for Revue of the Year for their show Crazy World: Songs of Leslie Bricusse. His journey in show business has been eclectic, from classical theatre, musicals, celebrity impersonation and more. He’s also worked as a makeup artist, a Pilates teacher, an acting coach and cabaret director. Boston-bred, Beaman initially came to New York in 1993 with his solo act, Bacall: By Herself (CaB Magazine Award), then headlined the world famous La Cage Revue at The Blue Angel, where he created three shows as Marlene Dietrich, Queen of the World (Bistro Award), Marlene! Alive at the Café de Paris and Black Market Marlene, which he toured to San Francisco, New Orleans, and Berlin, Germany. His acting career spans three decades, including Off Broadway (The Road To Qatar!, When Pigs Fly, A Wilder Christmas, Howard Crabtree’s Whoop-Dee-Doo!) and regional theatres. He’s directed cabaret acts for Lianne Marie Dobbs, Sierra Rein, Goldie Dver, Alexandra De Suze, Lane Bradbury, Becca Kidwell, Jesse Luttrell, Chris Collette and David Rhodes.
