Broadway stars Ann Hampton Callaway, Chad Kimball, and Sharon McNight will be appearing next month at the Duplex Cabaret Theater (61 Christopher Street).

Callaway, a Tony Award nominee for her performance in Swing! and an award-winning songwriter, will be the special guest of Grammy Award-winning songwriter Julie Gold at her monthly show on Friday, October 7 at 7pm. Gold is best known for the songs From a Distance, Heaven, and Good Night, New York, which have been recorded by such performers as Bette Midler, Patti LuPone, and Andrea Marcovicci.

Kimball, who recently starred in the Broadway show Lennon, will host the Monday Nights: New Voices series on Monday, October 10 at 9:30pm. The evening will be devoted to Tony-winning composer Charles Strouse and up-and-coming composer Neil Bartram. Other performers include Gavin Esham, Mimi Ferraro, Sriram Ganesan, Doug Kreeger, and Nicole Lewis.

McNight, who received a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical for Starmites, will perform Betty, Betty, Bette, October 13-29.
In the show, which premiered earlier this year at the Plush Room, McNight portrays Betty Grable, Betty Hutton, and Bette Davis, performing the music these three divas made famous.
