Carnegie Hall

This subversive, underground cabaret event takes its name from the Tiergarten—“The Garden of Beasts”—a sprawling central park around which the Third Reich rose to power. As master of ceremonies, Kim David Smith (called “a male Marlene Dietrich” by The New York Times) hosts an evening of music ranging from Cher to Verdi, Dean Martin to Max Richter, and William Byrd to Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, all performed by The Grand St. Stompers. Audiences are transported to an immersive 1920s Berlin speakeasy with period-themed food and drinks, vintage dress, dancers, shadow puppets, and actors lurking amidst the audience.
