A Nonprofit Cabaret Venue

A person with short dark hair, a mustache, and a goatee, wearing a black suit and patterned bow tie, exudes the charm of an Elizabethan drama star, smiling against a backdrop of musical instruments and ethereal blue lighting.

Christopher Marlowe is one the most sought-after music directors and pianists in the cabaret world. Under the wing of legendary cabaret producer Bruce Hopkins, Marlowe’s classical and jazz training brought a new sound to New York City’s small clubs. In 1996, he was honored with the MAC Award for Best Music Director of the Year. Marlowe was singer Nancy LaMott’s arranger and pianist for 11 years until her death. Their eight CDs received critical acclaim, and have become classics of the Great American Songbook. As music director, arranger, pianist, and composer, Marlowe has worked with such talents as Bernadette Peters, Kathie Lee Gifford, David Zippel, Britney Spears and Elaine Paige, and has played such venues as Joes Pub at the Public Theater, the Prince Music Theater in Philadelphia, the Kennedy Center, the Ambassador Theater, and the Clinton White House. Twice. On television, Marlowe has appeared on “Good Morning America,” “Today,” “Today,” “Live with Regis and Kathie Lee,” “The View,” “Late Night With David Letterman” and “The Rosie O’Donnell Show.”
