    “A Father’s Musical Influence inspired a daughter’s songbook”. My father’s vinyl collection blossomed into a cabaret vision. Songs I grew up listening to and others that tell the story of my childhood – and how I became the singer and performer I am today. – Dawn Derow

    9:00 pm General Bar Seats

    Dinner show guests enjoy a four-course Prix-Fixe menu beginning at 8:00pm, followed by the performance at 9:30pm in one of the most intimate Cabaret rooms New York City has to offer. It’s like having world class talent singing the classics in your very own living room. The 60-seat room is a shabby, chic, old school New York with the original bar from the Astor Hotel circa in 1904 parked on one side of the room and a luscious kelly-green tufted banquette facing the stage.

    The Dinner Show payment is broken down into two separate parts: The performance portion and the dinner portion.

    – The Performance portion of $50 is charged at the time that you make the reservation.

    – The Dinner portion of $49 plus tax, gratuity and the additional cost of beverage is charged on the evening of the performance by the Cafe staff.

    Guests whom attend both the Dinner and the Performance are responsible for the total combined cost of $99. If you cancel your ticket or do not show up on the night of the performance you will not be charged for the $49 dinner portion but the performance fee of $50 per-person is non-refundable. Please note that Beach seating is shared, though attendees may make special seating requests which we will do our best to honor.

    On many performances there is a variety of alternate priced tiers of tickets available for purchase. Some show tickets may be eligible for Promotional Code Discounts. These Promotional Codes should be entered in on the top of the Ticket Purchase screen page.

    For more information about Cabaret at The Beach Cafe or any details related to tickets or the scheduled performance please call 212 988 7299.

    Saturday, June 22, 2019
    at The Ridgefield Playhouse
    80 East Ridge Road, Ridgefield, CT
    Created and Directed by Daniel C. Levine
    with Music by David Friedman
    Join us as we present an ALL-STAR CAST of Broadway actors and musicians for a performance like no other.
    It’s a night of impactful stories of survival that will leave you feeling empowered, inspired and exhilarated.
    “When Donna Palomba (of Jane Doe No More) asked me to help support her remarkable organization, I decided that there was no way for me not to help. What I know how to do is to tell stories through theater. And what I realized is that, often times, stories of abuse and assault are extraordinarily difficult to tell. With skilled actors, singers, and musicians, events that are often too hard to speak of can be expressed and told in a creative way. We have put together quite a remarkable show that is not only inspiring, but also important. Along with David Friedman’s music which so perfectly captures the spirit and emotion of the show’s themes, We Can Be Kind is a must see!”
    “Daniel Levine has brilliantly created an informative, emotional and ultimately inspiring evening, weaving my songs together with stories of triumph and overcoming. I couldn’t be more humbled and proud to have my songs used in this way, for this worthiest of causes.”
             – David Friedman
