Dec. 17 & 18: Ben Vereen

“When they compile the list of important African-American performers, Ben Vereen will have his seat at the table. As a major force in musical theater for decades, Vereen has honed the artistry of entertainment, transitioning seamlessly between large theaters and smaller cabaret venues. He can still deliver the goods. The entertainer has appealing charm, still evidencing a twinkle.” — Cabaret Scenes
