About
Cabaret performers, drag queens, and burlesque acts take the stage at this intimate 100-seat theatre tucked below the West Bank Cafe in Hell's Kitchen. Named for Broadway and cabaret star Laurie Beechman, this venue has been a fixture since 1983. The space mixes state-of-the-art lighting and sound with a full bar.
The crowd is mixed gay and straight, with a lively energy that peaks on Friday and Saturday nights. You'll want to arrive early to grab a good seat. The accessible format includes shows that typically run 60 to 90 minutes. For a different arts stop nearby, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is a few blocks away.
