Review: “The Lady in Black” at Don’t Tell Mama
As I recall, up until the past year or so, I had never been asked or invited to review a musical cabaret act for OnStage Blog. That was until I had been asked personally to attend a blues singer’s cabaret show, playing at the West End Lounge for one night only. Perhaps little known to my readers, I have a great appreciation for old-fashioned blues and soul music, and cabaret shows are, in and of themselves, a type of theatrical performance. So when I was asked to once again review a brand new cabaret show by Mary Elizabeth Micari (aka “Reverend Mary”) this past weekend at the prestigious Don’t Tell Mama, it was difficult for me to turn it down.
