Cabaret Room: David Cale & Matthew Dean Marsh “We’re Only Alive…” Songs and More!, 7:30pm

January 14, 7:30 pm-9:00 pm

$20

Songs and selections from their Obie Award winning solo musical, We’re Only Alive for A Short Amount of Time. Recipient of Chicago’s Jeff Award for Best New Musical, and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Solo Show, as well as nominations for a Drama Desk Award and a Lucille Lortel Award. This one night only concert of songs and excerpts from Cale and Marsh’s collaboration on Cale’s musical memoir, described in American Theatre Magazine as “an astonishing piece of theater”, will also include songs from their latest collaboration, The Lonely One.

Aside from being acclaimed by The New York Times as being “an enthralling monologist”, Cale is a highly regarded lyricist. His lyrics have been sung by a wide array of singers including Debbie Harry, Elvis Costello, Jimmy Scott, Richard Butler (of The Psychedelic Furs), Syd Straw, Freedy Johnston, Bernard Fowler, Annie Ross, John Kelly and Carol Lipnik.

Cale and Marsh’s songs have also been sung by Ana Gasteyer, Grace McLean, Jo Lampert, Barrie Lobo McLain, Sylver Wallace, Violet Newman, Ronald Peet, Ryan J. Haddad, Niya Norwood and Billy Crudup.

“The music is rhapsodic; the songs seem to reach for a higher plane.” – Jesse Green, The New York Times

“The choruses of the songs have been pared down resulting in amazingly perfect, complex and beautiful strains, some of which have the romantic affect of classic standards from the likes of Gershwin, Porter and Berlin.” – PerformInk, Chicago

“The music Cale and Marsh weave into the story is profoundly moving.” – Windy City Times

“If you ever had any doubt about the healing and transformative powers of art, “We’re Only Alive for A Short Amount of Time” will set you straight.” – Hedy Weiss, WTTW, Chicago
