Had Enuf of the Blues: Cabaret on the Verge – Feb 6-9
“I highly recommend Had Enuf of the Blues, a moving lifetime of cabaret and theater music, full of insight and heart. I look forward to enjoying it again.”
Susan Haskins-Doloff Theater Talk.
Composer/Lyricist, Performer and Director: Don Arrington
Performed by: Camille Tibaldeo and Louisa Bradshaw
Piano: Peter Dizozza
Returning to the room where he first came to La MaMa fifty years ago, Don Arrington and company perform a lifetime of his comic and moving tunes, celebrating the unique East Village characters he has inherited.
“Had Enuf of the Blues, Cabaret on the Verge,” a lifetime of Don Arrington’s cabaret and musical theater music, is a hilarious and moving celebration of the many characters, many of the East Village who have inspire his work: the broken, the other, ridiculed, ostracized, bullied, who, nonetheless, have the tenacity to continue to seek justice, compassion and love on this azure, spinning sphere.
