The Hideaway Room @ Helen's begins its 2006 season with a return engagement of a fiery new show from "The Queen of Cabaret" Julie Wilson.

Since returning to New York in 1983, Julie Wilson has established a reputation as one of the greatest cabaret performers of all time. Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, she began her career in the nightclubs of the 1930s, '40s and '50s, starting with Earl Carroll's Vanities. As a featured singer at the Copacabana she introduced the song, "There's An Awful Lot of Coffee in Brazil." Miami and Hollywood clubs dates followed, including the famous Mocambo. Over the decades that followed she performed in such musicals as Legs Diamond, Panama Hattie, Kiss Me, Kate, South Pacific, Bells Are Ringing, The Pajama Game, Kismet, Show Boat, Jimmy, Silk Stockings, Hi Fidelity, Follies, Company and A Little Night Music.

"Her extraordinarily expressive face registers a thousand emotions as she reacts seismically to each word, seemingly channeling the past. And when the lyrics of a song are especially pungent, she invests them with the weight of a theatrical oracle... a distillation of a long life that remembers love, mourns loss and embraces laughter and a fierce will to continue, despite the loss." -- Stephen Holden, New York Times

Full Menu available for all evening shows, brunch menu for early Sunday shows.
