'Cuse Cabaret

Price: $35
Jazz Central
441 E. Washington St., Syracuse

If you saw this show last year, you know there's a whole lot of comedy in ... I-81! The snow! Jim Boeheim! Salted roads! Destiny USA! More snow! The Dome! Syracuse China! Armory Square! Ravenous Deer! Dino BBQ! The Cardiff Giant! THAT Bridge! And ... those crows?

Join us for the second run of this hilarious night of comedy songs celebrating the quirks and charms of Syracuse and Central New York. The catchy tunes, witty lyrics, and uproarious performances pay tribute to our beloved city and its unique culture.

The extraordinary cast includes music director Frederick Willard at the keyboard, singers Evelyn Oliver, Natasia White, Novis Fuller, and Thomas Netter (also directing) performing this 70-minute show.

Co-lyricists Johanna Beale Keller and Hanna Richardson wrote this collection of parody songs about the 'Cuse they both love — the town with a big ice chip on its shoulder. You'll recognize many of your favorite tunes from Broadway, rock and roll, and pop hits as the joys and frustrations of living in Syracuse are illustrated with affection and edgy humor.
