Join us for Cabaret in the Music Room, a Benefit Event in its 21st year, with award-winning vocalist, director, and Broadway actor Eric Michael Gillett. Stay with us after the performance for a champagne and dessert reception with Mr. Gillett. Festive attire is encouraged!

Gillett (The Frogs, Sweet Smell of Success, and Kiss Me, Kate) uses the wit and wisdom of Lorenz Hart to remind us all that, while love can be experienced with abandon, carelessness of the heart can make for a messy sort of romance. Hart, a wildly gifted lyricist responsible for tunes such as “Blue Moon,” “Manhattan,” “My Funny Valentine,” and “Isn’t it Romantic?,” inspired generations of lovers through his words. Gillett brings new life to these ballads of luck in love to craft “an intimate self-portrait of a man in the thrall of show business dreams, for whom popular standards are platforms for unguarded confessions.” (The New York Times)

All but $30 of each benefit ticket is tax-deductible, as provided by law. For more information please contact our Special Events office at or 914.232.1492.
