Reviews
The Premier Cabaret space at MusicalFare makes the perfect setting...McArthur is wonderful in the role, and it is pleasure just to hear her sing.

Alex McArthur as Billie Holiday and a terrific jazz combo led by pianist George Caldwell as Jimmy Powell are wowing the patrons at MusicalFare Theatre.
