Archived performances from The Cabaret released today for free streaming

Starting today, a selection of more than 200 videos, culled from eleven years of live acts by a roster of top Broadway stars and acclaimed global artists at The Cabaret, will go digital on the nonprofit venue’s revamped YouTube channel. So if you’re missing the nightlife you enjoyed before the COVID-19 shutdown, you can BYOB and be entertained at home by a variety of luminaries from the New York stage, presented at no cost to viewers, by the award-winning Indianapolis nightclub.

The Cabaret staff has been working with more than 100 artists during the ongoing process of curating, editing, and creating themed collections of their own favorite performances. The plan is to build the online offerings by adding new releases to the virtual catalogue at least every two weeks. Among those currently featured in The Glick Philanthropies Broadway Series playlist are Alan Cumming, Billy Porter, Laura Benanti, Jennifer Holliday, Gavin Creel, Mandy Gonzalez, Megan Hilty, Kate Baldwin, Norm Lewis, Lindsay Mendez, Stephanie J. Block, Cheyenne Jackson, and many others who played there.
