Sands Point Preserve Conservancy Rings in the Holiday Season with 'Not Quite Christmas Cabaret'

Produced and hosted by Tony Award-winning composer Steven Lutvak, this lovely holiday tradition brings quintessential cabaret music to the elegant Winter Living Room on the Gatsby-era mansion. Three outstanding Broadway artists join this year’s cast: Lauren Worsham, Mykal Kilgore, and Sally Wilfert.

In her second appearance at the Sands Point Preserve, Ms. Worsham starred in the Broadway productions of Spamalot and Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder for which she earned a Tony Nomination and Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Featured Actress in a Musical. Ms. Worsham also starred in the New York City Opera’s Candide and The Turn of the Screw, and the New York Philharmonic’s production of Showboat.

Known for his magnificent multi-octave tenor voice, Mr. Kilgore will make his debut at the Preserve. His credits include NBC’s The Wiz Live; Motown the Musical and Hair on Broadway; and the national tour of The Book of Mormon. He has performed in sold-out concerts at Joe’s Pub, Birdland, The Kennedy Center, and Apollo Theater’s Cafe.

The Conservancy also welcomes Ms. Wilfert whose credits include the Tony Award-winning production of Assassins on Broadway and the national tour of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. At Carnegie Hall, she appeared in Cole Porter’s Jubilee, South Pacific in Concert, and Sondheim: A Tribute, all for PBS. Her cabaret concert venues include 54 Below, The Allen Room, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Joe’s Pub, and Birdland.
