Good evening, you poor unfortunate souls!

Our next performer takes her name from the legendary Sirens of the sea—beautiful, beguiling, and blessed with a voice so powerful that sailors apparently forgot things like navigation, common sense and, frankly, their own names. Much like her mythical counterparts, she has the voice, the glamour, and the kind of dramatic entrance that says, “Your dignity? Oh, darling… that’s gone overboard.”

Tonight, she’s dragging herself out of the deep and straight into the tentacles of one of Disney’s most deliciously campy villains.

Because what is Halloween without a little witchcraft? What is cabaret without a little drag? And what is The Little Mermaid without a woman who looks at a girl’s voice and thinks, “I could make money off that”?

So, to all the poor unfortunate souls in the audience: beware. You may think you’re here for a cabaret show. You may even think your soul belongs to you.

But our next performer is about to bring you a little Disney, a lot of camp, and just enough drag to make you question whether “under the sea” was ever really a family-friendly destination.

So loosen those fins and prepare to be dragged under.

Please welcome the Siren of the sea, the Queen of the deep, and your newest favorite poor decision…

SYREN!

Gloria Henderson is excited to return to Kelscabaret. She was featured in her first Lagunatics earlier this month. She recently performed as Mayzie LaBird in Seussical in Irvine and one of the three Leading Ladies in Jerry’s Girls in Laguna Beach.

Some of Gloria’s favorite roles include Ado Annie in Oklahoma!, Vi Moore in Footloose, Irene Molloy in Hello, Dolly, Grace Farrell in Annie, and Ruth in Pirates of Penzance. Her day job includes showing students how to handle sharp objects and varying levels of heat or how to make objects move on screen and use heat to press designs onto tumblers and tshirts. She is grateful that she is able to perform in Kelscabaret, which has been a blast every time! 

Cheryl is originally from Massachusetts where she grew up performing with a local community theater as well as participating in high school musicals.  Cheryl went to the University of New Hampshire and was a member of a women’s a Capella group as well as the UNH Jazz Choir.    Cheryl moved to California in 1998 and has been performing with choirs in Southern California for over 25 years.  

Sharon Rae Massey is honored to pay tribute to a villain icon. After all, what’s more bad ass than cursing a baby because you weren’t invited to a party? #JusticeForMaleficent

Some people are born to shine, and Matt Hoover has been milking it ever since. A cabaret performer with a flair for the dramatic and a star quality that’s frankly out of this world, Matt is ready to leave you starstruck. Whether he’s hitting the high notes or reaching for the spotlight, one thing is certain: this rising star is definitely not a falling one.

So sit back, relax, and prepare to be dazzled. Matt’s here to prove that when it comes to cabaret, the sky’s the limit—and he’s already booked the moon.

Gabby is thrilled to be back with KelsCabaret and ready to stir up a little trouble! Celebrating her birthday month, she’s bringing the spooky sass and mischievous magic. Be careful what you wish for… things are about to get a little spooky.
