Kelsey Redmond: You Make Me Feel So Young

​

​

Matt Hoover: When You’re Good To Mama

When Matt walks into the room, you better believe Mama knows best. He’s got the connections, the confidence, and just enough “Class” to keep the whole joint in line. And if somebody happens to get a little out of hand? Well… they better hope Mama likes them.

So loosen those corsets, polish that cellophane, and get ready for a Mama Morton who knows exactly how to give ’em the old razzle dazzle.

Because in Matt’s Chicago, there’s only one rule: be good to Mama. 💋🎩✨

After 4 years performing with OC CABARET…  She’s just as surprised as you that she hasn’t sung from this show yet.​

​

Steve Pepper: Belong to Someone

Steve Pepper is ecstatic that the stars aligned for him to be able to be a part of this month’s OC Cabaret, and couldn’t be more excited to share one of the two songs he’s been singing on repeat for the past couple of months.  Steve would like to give a particularly special shoutout to his dearest friend, Drew, without whom, Steve would never have been able to experience this song on Broadway, thus changing his initial impression on what he thought was just another sappy belty boring straight tenor love ballad.  This song goes out to all the other misfits and lonely “delights to have in class” in the audience and everywhere.

​

Tony Valdez: A Boy Named Sue (Johnny Cash)

Tony is thrilled to be on the OC Cabaret stage once again! He’s an actor, writer, singer, drinker of too much coffee, and proud bunny dad. As he and his lovely wife will soon be moving, he dedicates tonight’s performance to the entire OC Cabaret cast, crew, and audience. Thank you all for reigniting my love of performing these last several months. I will most certainly be back to visit. ❤️ Instagram: @rockhollywood

​

Kelsey Redmond: Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)

"Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" is a famous acoustic song by the rock band Green Day. The phrase combines two opposing ideas: "good riddance" (an angry or relieved goodbye to something bad) and "time of your life" (a wish for a great experience). This mix creates a bittersweet message about accepting change, moving on, and closing chapters. It is about realizing that life paths diverge, and you just have to accept the unpredictable twists of fate.

In Memory of my nephew Steven C Sharp who passed two years ago, 8/19/24. I'll never forget singing Green Day songs in the car with you as kids. May you rest in peace, Steven. We feel you everywhere there's music.
