AMONG MORE THAN DOZEN AWARD WINNERS CHOSEN BY NYC CRITICS!
The 2008 Nightlife Awards, the only All-Performance Award show in the
world, announced its winners today as a first step in preparation for
an all-star celebration of the best in cabaret, comedy and jazz at The
Town Hall on Monday, 7 PM, January 28th. The only award show with no
acceptance speeches - the most audience-friendly award show in
captivity -- where the winners perform to show why they were chosen,
is already well on its way to yet another star-studded evening of
entertainment. Among the winners who have already confirmed that they
will come to Town Hall to perform include John Pizzarelli & Jessica
Molaskey, Marilyn Maye, Carol Sloane, Allan Harris, Barb Jungr, Modern
Man, Christine Pedi, Natalie Douglas, and more soon to be announced.
[For the full list of winners see below.]

Among the talented celebrities who will grace the Town Hall stage in
support of New York Nightlife either presenting winners to the
audience or entertaining as special guest performers include past
Nightlife Award winners Bill Charlap & Sandy Stewart, three-time
Grammy Winner Lari White, Birdland's up-and-coming jazz star Hilary
Kole, Theater icon Charles Busch, acclaimed musical comedy stars Lucie
Arnaz and Julie Halston and Tony Award winners Bill Irwin and Joanna
Gleason. That list will grow exponentially over the next two weeks.
The Nightlife Awards will be directed this year by a master of one-
night only extravaganzas, Carl Andress.

The creator and producer of The Nightlife Awards, Scott Siegel, said
"I am deeply gratified that every year performers knock themselves out
to come back to Town Hall to perform. This year, Marilyn Maye -- who
holds the record for the most appearance by a singer on the Tonight
Show Starring Johnny Carson (76 appearances) is flying in from Kansas
City. Country star and crossover cabaret artist Lari White is flying
up from Nashville. Jazz legend Carol Sloane is coming in from out of
town, as well, while English star Barb Jungr changed a gig in the UK
in order to perform at Town Hall. John Pizzarelli and Jessica
Molaskey, despite being booked for another major event later that
night, are coming to Town Hall early in the evening to perform. And
then there is Bruce Vilanch, the three-time Emmy Award winner coming
in from L.A. to host the evening at a comic level equal to the Academy
Awards -- after all, when he isn't on strike, he writes the Oscar
telecast.

"There will be a great many more stars announced between now and
January 28th," Siegel continued. There are winners we haven't heard
back from yet, plus there will be more special guest performers and
celebrity presenters named, as well. As always, we try to surprise the
audience with as many stars as we can. In the past, we've brought out
Liza Minnelli, Patti LuPone, and Robert Altman to present awards. And
we've had legends on the stage like Alan King, Robert Klein, Betty
Buckley, Maureen McGovern, etc. With no acceptance speeches, and this
kind of great talent, the Nightlife Awards is simply bang, bang, bang
entertainment and nothing, in my mind, can top that for promoting New
York nightlife to a wider audience."
