A Nonprofit Cabaret Venue

On a black background, bold white script spells

Madame X- The Musical! by Gerard Alessandrini and Robert Hetzel

June 22, 2026

Melodrama! Music! and Murder! ensue in Madame X- The Musical!, an over the top hysterical take on Douglas Sirk films and ever-durable genre of the altruistic, self sacrificing mother.

A curvaceous shopgirl with a questionable past wins a beauty contest, and the heart and hand in marriage to a wealthy politician. But she is left at home alone with their child while her husband campaigns. Can she keep her sexual appetite in check while living with her Machiavellian mother-in-law in a mansion in Connecticut?

With a spine tingling new music score and delightfully naughty and witty lyrics by Gerard Alessandrini and Robert Hetzel, Madame X- The Musical! walks the tightrope between comedic camp and suspense.

The cast will include top Broadway talent and award-winning alumni from Mr. Alessandrini’s Forbidden Broadway and Spamilton. Music direction by Richard Danley.

Featuring:

Charley Bazz
Jorge Blakely (Spamilton national tour)
Emmy Award winner Michael Corbett (“Search for Tomorrow,” “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful”)
