| If you've lost
your appetitie for dinner theater over the
yeares, maybe it's time to ease back into
the genre of nibbles theater. |
| |
| Jackie Gordon, who bills herself
as "The Singing Chef," has just
opened a one-woman, interactive cabaret show
called sayCheese! at the Laurie Beechman Theater
in the basement of the West Bank Cafe in New
York. During the 90-minute performance/lesson,
Gordon conveys her passion for wine and cheese
through humorous patter, slides, original
songs and cabaret classics while the audience
samples and rates pairings such as California
cabernet and artisanal cheddar.Sample lyric
from her If I could Date Cheese: "I'm
just so grateful I kept a straight face when
that Kraft SIngle asked me out. I know that
you're mild-mannered and you melt evenly,
but that ain't the stuff that's gonna sate
my fromage fantasies." |
| |
| The idea couldn't sound any
cheesier, but that's the point, say Gordon.
"Everyone has jumped on the cheese bandwagon
over the last 10 years, so the idea is to
help consumers become pickier." |
| |
| The show($60, including
eight cheeses and four wines) plays twice
a week through June 11. Information: www.ticketcentral.com;
