"The late, great Dick Gallagher was heard to observe that cabaret "is the art of being yourself on purpose." Not every person who steps up onto a stage in a small venue is actually ready to do that, and it's fine because that can be a place more intimate, more vulnerable than some are ready to be. So those people get all dressed up in a character - sometimes a character based on themselves, but a character, nonetheless. When Susan Derry made her Feinstein's/54 Below solo show debut last Wednesday night, there was no "version" of herself standing in the spotlight, for Susan Derry did exactly what the late Maestro Gallagher wished for every cabaret artist to do. Susan Derry was one hundred percent herself, and it showed in every charming moment of her personally informed act." - Stephen Mosher, Broadway World
