Susie Mosher works hard to bring the best talent to the stage and Matt Baker works hard to make sure Broadway World readers get to see the action.

Broadway World Cabaret is looking at the work of ten artists we refer to, simply, as THE FUTURE.

The Manhattan Association of Cabarets (MAC) has announced the 2019 MAC Award nominees. The nominees, in a majority of the categories, were determined by votes cast by the active MAC membership. Special committees selected the nominees in the Ensemble Instrumentalist, Piano Bar Instrumentalist, Piano Bar Singing Entertainer (Female; Male), Recording (LaMott Friedman), Major Recording, Song and Comedy/Novelty Song categories.

Singer-raconteur, Ira Lee Collings, premieres his latest show, NAKED-From The Neck Up on Sunday, September 23rd at 5:30 PM, at Don't Tell Mama in New York City. The Gay Geezer will dispense his usual sly patter and infectious enthusiasm in a very personal show, full of music and surprises and never-before-told secrets. Collings promises to bare all, from the heights of success to the darker moments of sorrow-aimed at at creating a feel-good experience. With Music Director, John M. Cook, and under the direction of Sally Darling, the curated set of songs include "On the Other Side of the Tracks," "An Occasional Man," "Mr. Wonderful," Nothing Can Stop Me Now" and more. NAKED-From the Neck Up will also play at Don't Tell Mama on Sunday, September 30th at 7 PM; Tuesday, October 2nd at 7 PM and Monday, October 15th at 7 PM.

At age 82, singer-raconteur, Ira Lee Collings is thrilled to be nominated for a 2018 MAC Award in the "Musical Comedy Performer" category. The self-proclaimed "gay geezer" is over the moon; the only other performer to claim an "oldest" distinction is Marilyn Maye (she'll be 90 years old in April) who won her first MAC in 2010. And while it's true that Carol Shedlin has a few years on both Maye and Collings, she'll be receiving the non competitive Hanson Award this year, an honor given to a performer who has never received a MAC nomination, but who has, none the less, done excellent work over a sustained period of time. Last year's Hanson Award winner, by the way, was - Ira Lee Collings!

The Manhattan Association of Cabarets (MAC) is pleased to announce the 2018 MAC Award nominees. The nominees, in a majority of the categories, were determined by votes cast by the active MAC membership. The MAC Board of Directors selected the nominees for Show of the Year. Special committees selected the nominees in the Ensemble Instrumentalist, Piano Bar Instrumentalist, Piano Bar Singing Entertainer (Female; Male), Recording (LaMott Friedman), Major Recording, Song and Comedy/Novelty Song categories. The names of the songwriters in the Song and Comedy/Novelty Song categories are being withheld during the voting period, but will be announced publicly as soon as the voting period concludes.

Becca C. Kidwell reprises her debut show, "A Song & Its Girl," at Don't Tell Mama for its fourth time on Wednesday, March 7th at 7pm. Her professional debut explores her journey from being a shy, quiet girl to a strong, confident woman under the artful direction of Gretchen Reinhagen and musical direction of Tracy Stark, both MAC and Bistro Award winners.

Voting will run through December 31, 2017. Additionally, five Editor's Choice Awards recipients, including Cabaret Personality of the Year, will be announced after voting has completed. Following a review of the ballots, winners will be announced officially in January 2018!
