As the song goes “life is a cabaret old chum,” but life during these uncertain times seems anything but a celebration. Two of Atlanta’s theater treasures and Broadway stars, Terry Burrell and Courtenay Collins, are alternating hosts for the Alliance Theatre’s virtual production of “We’re Still Here: A Virtual Cabaret.” It will stream live and free on the Alliance Theatre Facebook page and YouTube channel each Thursday evening for the next six weeks.
“City Lights” host Lois Reitzes spoke with Burrell and Collins about performing on this new platform. Burrell will be performing a wide range of tunes from Motown to her signature song “Old Man Harlem” by Ethel Waters. In 2016, Burrell portrayed Waters in a one-woman show at the Alliance Theatre.
Collins will be performing several well-known cabaret songs, one of them from the Broadway hit “The Prom.” In 2018, Collins made her Broadway debut in the Tony-nominated musical, “The Prom,” after starring in its Alliance Theatre world premiere in 2016.
Collins feels that this cabaret has lifted her spirits during these unnerving times, “I am still having to pull myself up by my bootstraps and I think this cabaret is something that the Universe sent me to be able to do that.”
The first cabaret performance will be Thursday at 7 p.m.
