Come celebrate Broadway at its best!
Singer/Songwriter/Filmmaker Tom Orland marks the 50th anniversary of the Songwriters Hall of Fame with the Midwest release of his latest CD "The Misplaced Recordings". It's a show honoring (and second guessing) the Hall, and all who inhabit it.
With Musical Direction by Beckie Menzie and vocal support from his better half, Marianne Murphy Orland, you'll hear songs you've loved all your life, and some of Tom's originals that you'll, no doubt, be adding to that collection.
With his trademark heart and humor, Tom shares the inspiration for his songs, along with those of his musical heroes and heroines. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss 20 bucks goodbye!

Broadways’ DAVID SABELLA in “The Razzle Dazzle of CHICAGO”
Davenport’s, Chicago, Illinois
September 18, 2022 – 7:00 PM
"The best cabaret show I have seen all year..." "A master class in how to do it..." "STOP whatever you are doing and DO NOT MISS THIS!" – Richard Skipper Celebrates
Sabella is a Broadway caliber entertainer… (and) an exceptional cabaret performer!” - Nitelife Exchange
"...a show that combines top-notch artistry with substance and relevancy. - Theater Pizzazz
… transcend(s) cabaret into one-man show territory. …earnest and fabulously phrased.... enough to have you humming Kander and Ebb for days." - Cabaret Scenes
Broadway’s David Sabella, original costar in CHICAGO, and hailed by Luciano Pavarotti as “Excellent!”, celebrates Broadway’s longest running American musical in story and song, taking the audience backstage for a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of this theatrical and global phenomenon, starring the legendary Ann Reinking, Bebe Neuwirth, Joel Grey, and Sabella himself in the surprising role of “Mary Sunshine.”
Using the music and lyrics of John Kander and Fred Ebb, (Cabaret, CHICAGO, Kiss of the Spiderwoman) Sabella narrates his time in the show from day 1, working with stars like Chita Rivera, Melanie Griffith, Brent Barrett, Patrick Swayze and more. And, as one of the first gay men in America to legally wed and adopt children, Sabella takes us on a personal, and deeply moving journey of fatherhood while performing on Broadway, and around the world.
