Make someone happy ...
Each year we make Central Florida happy when we invite you into our intimate home to share some great music performed by amazingly talented artists, and this year is no different. Join friends old and new, relive memories and build new bonds — all the while making each other happy.
In our 11th year, we are excited to present a record seven national artists performing at this year’s festival right along with some of our Central Florida favorites and the return of the popular It Was A Very Good Year series.
Make Someone Happy from the 1960 musical Do Re Mi has been recorded by everyone from Jimmy Durante to Judy Garland and even The Supremes, and it has helped make their fans very happy, and we hope you can join us at this year’s festival and spread the joy too.
What is Cabaret? Cabaret is a celebration of song and personality; it can be personal and delicate, or bombastic and hysterical, a painstaking journey or the party at the end of the trip. But always it is pure musical entertainment in an intimate setting.

Headliners
Shoshana Bean AbSOULutely
Paying homage to the artists and sounds that inspired her latest album, O’Farrell Street, Shoshana’s show will feature hits from the late 1960’s by legends like Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Etta James, Sam Cooke and Ray Charles. These beloved classics flow seamlessly into and out of her own original music and promise to deliver a high-energy, refreshingly nostalgic and moving experience.
Friday May 10 8:15 p.m. Saturday May 11 8:15 p.m.
GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL ! VIP seating is available
for Headliner performances.
Tony DeSare Tony DeSare performs with infectious joy, wry playfulness, and robust musicality. His takes on classic standards and sophisticated original compositions have earned him the reputation as one of country’s hottest young singer/pianists.
His sound is romantic, swinging and sensual, but what sets Tony apart is his ability to write original material that sounds fresh and at the same time blends seamlessly with the Great American Songbook.
Tony has the capability to glide from a standard by George Gershwin to a contemporary classic by Bob Dylan or Phil Collins to one of his inventive original songs with ease.

Sing a Song Lindsey Alley was one of only
three cast members to appear all 7 seasons of the All New Mickey
Mouse Club Show.
Broadway fanatic can deliver. Walters’ powerful baritone will wow you with songs from the world’s most beloved musicals. Mix that with his personal account of starting out that “special” little boy from Arkansas, singing along in his beroom to recordings of Carol Channing and trying to tap like Ann Miller to living the showbiz dream by working with some of Broadway’s most legendary stars! It’s a touching, tunefully daring and side-splittingly funny tour de force.
