News from Producer Tanya Moberly - May 22nd. 2010

SALON, that Bistro & MAC Award winning open mic created and hosted by Mark Janas, returns to Etcetera, Etcetera - 352 West 44th Street, NYC 10036 - on Sunday, May 23rd from 7PM to 10:30PM.

The optional theme for the evening is "SONDHEIM”. If you’re singing a Sondheim song, please bring several selections to avoid duplication!!!

Remember, any material, on or off theme, is always welcome at Salon!

Our Co-Host will be the Delightful MAC, Bistro & Nightlife Award winning Daryl Glenn! Daryl hopes to revive his Feinstein's debut show “Daryl Sings Steve – Songs of Sondheim” in the fall. He also has a 'mystery project' in the works. For continual updates, please consult www.darylglenn.com.

Our Special Guest will be the Legendary, three-time Tony Award nominated (Applause, A Little Night Music & Sweeney Todd), Tony & Drama Desk Award winning (Sweeney Todd) Len Cariou! Len has exciting news! He will be starring in a new CBS television series entitled “Blue Bloods” which will be aired this fall on Friday nights at 10PM right after CSI and it will be shot right here in New York City. The drama is about three generations of one law-enforcement family. Len will play a retired New York police chief. His son, the current police chief will be played by Tom Selleck, and Donnie Wahlberg will play Len’s grandson, a police detective. There’s also another son in the police academy and a daughter who’s an assistant D.A. Sound’s exciting, and we’re happy for Len.

There will be a $10 cash cover at the door, collected by 'Etceterette', Jan Brennan, and a $12 food/drink minimum (cash or credit) per person.
