Todd Schroeder on Cabaret

I was first asked to play a Cabaret show in 1990. I thought the woman said cabernet and that it was some kind of wine tasting event. Since that time I have not only come to know what Cabaret is but I have come to love and appreciate this unique art form. I found out the word "Cabaret" comes form an old Dutch word meaning "small room" and I have played just about every one in the United States. I even ran one of my own in San Diego for a couple of years.

I think what gives a Cabaret its uniqueness is its intimacy in the performance. Whether one is performing for 12 people or 1200 people, the Cabaret experience is one in which everyone in the audience believes the performer is talking to them. It is the blur between Theater and Concert. I am so proud to be a part of this community and feel honored to be able to teach and encourage Cabaret performance.

My Show
Todd Schroeder is (finally) performing for one night at the Gardenia Restaurant and Lounge. Todd has performed all over the world playing piano and conducting for such artists as Sam Harris, Jason Alexander, Angela Lansbury, Nell Carter and many others. He has written a new musical opening Off-Broadway this fall called "Unbeatable" and on July 26th, he will bring his voice and ten-finger band to perform some of his favorite songs including some of his originals. He will be joined by some very special guests. Don't miss this once-in-every-few-years LA appearance!
