[...] Hearing Broadway songs out of context (and performed without dancing), you start to realize how ridiculous and nonsensical the lyrics can be. This is made even more obvious when McCredie sings a song about a serial killer, �Mack the Knife� (somehow co-opted by McDonalds in the ’80s for “Big Mac Tonight”) or one about her �Sex Appeal,� during which she wore the same sweet expression you might expect if she were knocking on your door to sing Christmas carols. (Though her operatic voice and clear vibrato were delightful.) After two seasons entertaining Fringe audiences, D.C. Cabaret was missed this year, but it�s nice that the In Series picks up the slack for those who like their cabaret less than CooCoo. [...]

This is a remarkably astute review! We were trying to take it easy this year having built so many new shows the last couple of years and so we decided to try something a little less “devised” and a little more “assembled”.
Thank you so much for your sensitive eye and patience with us while we experiment with ways to make art when there is no time and no money.
Love you city paper cats!
