“Hey, Old Friend! A Cabaret Jubilee”

KT Sullivan, artistic director of the Mabel Mercer Foundation, returns to East Hampton with Mark Nadler following last year’s sold-out show Nice work if You Can Get It!  Their new show, Hey, Old Friend! A Cabaret Jubilee  is a mini Cabaret Convention that not only showcases their talents but also features two powerhouse performers: multi-award-winning legend Christine Pedi and the dazzling Stephanie Pope. The New York Times hails Nadler as “Mr. Entertainment” and describes KT as “whipped cream atop a surprisingly nutritious dessert.” Join them as they celebrate the best of the American Songbook.
