Broadway World Award-winner Dennis McNeil joins the "Queen of Patter" Keri Kelsey, hot jazz & blues lady Mary Bogue, and piano man Ed Martel for a spicy and luscious musical holiday menu at MA4. Together they'll cook the season into high gear with a dash of sass, a pinch of fire, and a dab of heart leaving you singing and believing in Santa again. "Jingle All the Way - A Christmas Cabaret!" • $20 Premier Seating / $15 Reserved Seating (plus $15 food/drink minimum) • Doors open at 6pm • No refunds/exchanges DENNIS MCNEIL,   an award-winning tenor known for his versatility as a performer, is equally happy on the Broadway stage, the Opera stage, in front of a symphony as a soloist, or singing Irish Folk Music. He has performed with many of the major opera companies in the U.S. including the Met, New York City Opera, San Francisco Opera, New Orleans Opera, and Los Angeles Opera. On the Musical Theater stage he has sung the role of Mr. Snow in Carousel more than 140 times in four productions. He had the honor of singing Nikos to Broadway legend, John Raitt's Zorba. He also sang in a national tour with lyricist, Sammy Cahn in the smash hit musical Words and Music! and has toured and performed with legendary composer and conductor, Lalo Schifrin.   "This crooning tenor had the room swinging, especially with the support provided by Musical Director Ed Martel. He skillfully wove his impressive career into an entertaining evening of story and song. With a voice that is a pleasure to listen to and a wealth of show biz stories to draw upon, McNeil is primed to become a cabaret staple."  - Les Traub, Cabaret Scenes Magazine   "Judging from the audience response, he was a smash. The diners gave him a standing ovation. You couldn't help but be swept away by his powerful voice."  -Robert Machray, Blog Critics " With the unfailing confidence that marks a true Irishman and with just enough humility to ingratiate himself, McNeil held his audience spellbound with his magnificent vocal range, wide variety of selections and warm anecdotes. He is a fabulous singer and entertainer, and let's hope this is the beginning of many, many supper club appearances. His desire to spread love and joy to new audiences is coming true."  - Don Grigware, Broadway World   www.dennismcneil.com  

KERI KELSEY  is a woman with, to put it mildly, an eclectic background. Her life experiences are as diverse as traveling with the circus, riding a tiger bareback, assisting a juggler, working as an on-the-spot radio news reporter and a literary agent, signing for the deaf, and swinging 35 feet in the air from a float in the Rose Bowl Parade! (not easy for someone afraid of heights... she found, however, that fear is calmed somewhat when a paycheck is involved...)   She has performed her cabaret show at Feinstein's Cinegrill, The Gardenia, Danny's in New York and various other cities across the country.  She's headlined at Tavern On The Green and Hofstra University.  Keri currently hosts the longest running open mic in Los Angeles at The Gardenia. Known as the "Queen Of Patter" she teaches a class called The Complete Cabaret Workshop with Todd Schroeder.   Keri draws inspiration from all these experiences for her personal and compelling performances, while earning a reputation for being, as one reviewer recently put it, "the definition of glamour." She counts among her musical inspirations Julie Wilson, Ann Hampton Callaway and Nancy Wilson.   www.kerikelsey.com

  MARY BOGUE's first memory of music traces back to her family's upstate New York home. When her family moved to California, Mary was all about this stuff called jazz, R&B and Motown. And while Paul McCartney was okay in her books, he didn't compare to Smokey Robinson.   Mary began singing around the L.A. scene in 2006 or 2007 doing many shows at local venues including. Nola's, Hollywood Studio Bar & Grill, and Vitello's. She's no stranger to film, TV work or art exhibits, either.     Fast forward to 2012 and her debut CD, "Don't Go To Strangers" which delivers her unrequited passion, with killer arrangements played by L.A. pianists Karen Hernandez and Steve Rawlins. Trumpets beckon at the call of Nolan Shaheed, Rickey Woodard makes for a cool  groove; and viola and cello voices assure you it's okay to stay a little longer in your reflection of yesterday, before producer Steve Rawlins moves you on down the road.   Mary recently performed her latest show, "My Friends Call Me Rosie" - a tribute to Rosemary Clooney," at The Gardenia in Los Angeles to sold-out crowds and great reviews.   www.marybogue.com
