Kim David smith

Australian cabaret sensation Kim David Smith, who was hailed by Broadway World as the "David Bowie of cabaret," "slyly subversive" by the Wall Street Journal, and “the male Marlene Dietrich" by the New York Times, conjures the glitter, doom, and decadence of pre-1930’s Berlin with an intimate musical portrait of the Weimar Republic through the works of Kurt Weill, Mischa Spoliansky, Friedrich Hollander, and many unexpected others.

CABARET AT CAFÉ SABARSKY

Cabaret at Café Sabarsky in the Neue Galerie continues its unique series devoted primarily to German and Austrian music of the 1890s to 1930s, some of the most fertile and volatile music created in the modern era. The intimate 60-seat room is exquisitely appointed with period objects, including lighting fixtures by Josef Hoffmann and furniture by Adolf Loos, and features a Bösendorfer grand piano.

All performances are at 9 p.m., preceded by a prix-fixe dinner at 7 p.m.
Combined cost is $140 (dinner $75, performance $65; must be purchased together).
