Event

The Mayflower Club Cabaret

A sweet Musical intro opens the Show up..... W.C. Fields, played by David A Springhorn, comically host's the evening Cabaret!

The first Song and Dance is from the film Cabaret. Later there is some Magic!! Then, Cristina Linhardt, the singer, and Tuba Heatherton, the Accordion player, perform some classic Cabaret song's by Kurt Weill. One song was made famous by The Doors.... this places us back in time.

Further musical acts; The "Nightmare Song" from Gilbert and Sullivan performed by Kevin Blackley; Celtic Harp played by Aedan MacDonnell; Will Salmon, from Opengatetheatre.com, plays Tango piano with Stylized Dramatic Tango Dancers from Cal Arts; Kate Friedricks plays Ukulele songs by the famous 1940's Englishman George Formby. Herman's Hermits of the British Invasion in '65 made one of the songs a hit again.

There will be light fare available to buy from the kitchen and the Period Bar will open at 7pm to buy drinks. The actual Bar was shiped over from England long ago and used at the Masquers Club, a famous Actor's club established in 1925. Errol Flynn is said to have made the big Cigar burn on the Bar back when the Masquers Club had the Bar. It has been preserved! If you are into History You could ask the Bartender if he would show you!

The Mayflower Club was founded by English Ex-patriots in 1965. Even the Bar is all English. You can salute a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II when you are there.
