About The Orlando Cabaret Festival.
The 9th Annual Orlando Cabaret Festival will be April 2 - May 15, 2011.
We're still searching the globe for the finest cabaret performers, but explore the website to see all the exciting events that were part of last year's festival!
Mad Cow Theatre’s intimate 2-theatre complex in downtown Orlando played host to The Eighth Annual Orlando Cabaret Festival, April 30 - May 16, 2010. Over 40 performances of jazz, pop, Broadway, comedy, and a few surprises featured many of Central Florida's favorite artists along with artists from the New York Cabaret scene. Last year, we presented three world-class headliners that define both classic and contemporary cabaret at its greatest: Karen Akers, KT Sullivan and The Broadway Boys. Mad Cow’s intimate setting provides a cozy and elegant experience to experience these extraordinary performers.
Our It Was A Very Good Year series celebrates the Great American Songbooks of 1940, 1950 and 1960 in three separate shows. The festival also features the Songwriters’ Spotlight series matching some of Mad Cow’s favorite performers with the greatest songwriters of all time. Both of these series will take place in the intimate Stage Right, where all-table seating transforms this lovely space into “Club Moo”. There’s a different lineup every night, where each evening of the Festival you can take in as many as three different and spectacular acts – a Cabaret-lover’s dream.
Another feature of The Orlando Cabaret Festival is a series of weekday lunchtime performances designed for downtown workers and those looking for daytime entertainment. These performances last 45 minutes and you are encouraged to bring your lunch or order a box lunch from the theatre. Downtown workers can make it back to their offices within an hour. Groups – welcome – have a unique lunch with your friends and co-workers.!
