Athena at McElrath Cabaret said: July 31, 2012 11:46 am PST
Hi Ellen: I received your question over at our blog--first off, what a cool gig--best wishes as you move forward with it! One thought that came to mind is the old standard "Buttons and Bows." Another is "The Lies of Handsome Men"--see Margaret Whiting's version for a nice one on youtube. "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" might be another. Maybe "I Am What I Am" from La Cage. I have to say I'm more familiar with classic cabaret tunes, so have limited knowledge of more modern stuff. However, Madonna did a song called "Vogue." If I think of something else, I'll drop you a line.
