Colleen McHugh never ceases to amaze. Her shows are smart and informed, without being overly academic. Her sense of humor and comic chops are top-notch, and she has an incredible voice. This "Calendar Girl" series is a lot of fun. She's doing a completely different show every month, and each of them are one-night-only performances. I can't imagine how much work it is for her and her band, but it's a boon for the audience.
Very interesting show, with both poignant and laughable moments
Engaging, hilarious, moving, fun. Colleen is incredible!
The Duplex, New York City's world-famous cabaret and piano bar, is located in the heart of West Greenwich Village in Manhattan.
The ever-popular Duplex boasts a piano bar with open mic every night of the week, an upstairs bar and an intimate off-Broadway cabaret theatre, all hosted by some of New York's friendliest staff.
Colleen is a jack of all trades, a singer, a writer, actor, and comic.

She is also made her Carnegie Hall debut as a special guest artist in Michael Feinstein's “Now and Then” concert series, and made her Lincoln Center debut at Rose Hall/Jazz at Lincoln Center.
The Duplex Cabaret Theatre is a 70-seat off-Broadway venue that features performances of all types nightly.

DCT audiences have been lucky enough to catch premiere versions of hits like Nunsense; Hello Muddah! Hello Faddah!; and a slew of other new shows. More recently, DCT has been the venue of choice for The Storefront Theatre's award-winning New Mondays series, featuring new work from composers both up-and-coming and legendary, from Frank Wildhorn to Stephen Schwartz, Charles Strouse to Galt MacDermot, Jason Robert Brown, Michael John LaChiusa, Andrew Lippa and many others. Also, DCT's popular Dowtown Revivals series features one-night-only engagements from the brightest lights on the cabaret circuit.
