Press Release Summary: The Royal Room Cabaret at The Colony Hotel in Palm
BeachPresents Marianne Challis This Weekend

Press Release Body: "The Colony's 2008-2009 Cabaret Season will be our biggest and
best ever. Instead of having to fly up to New York City to see major cabaret stars
at the Algonquin's Oak Room, the Carlyle or Feinstein's at the Regency, fans of the
Great American Songbook now can enjoy many of the same extraordinary performers
within the cozy confines of the Royal Room. I can guarantee the quality of these
performers because I personally reviewed each one," promises Roger Everingham,
general manager of Palm Beach's favorite boutique hotel, which has repeatedly earned
the highly coveted "4-Diamond Rating," from AAA.
Widely considered to be one of the top cabaret venues in the country, The Colony's
Royal Room has scheduled another audience-pleasing line-up of performers. Marianne
Challis will perform Oct. 24-25 & Oct. 31-Nov. 1st. Marianne Challis is an
audience-wowing combination of sophisticated chanteuse and rib-ticking comedian. The
refreshing and irreverent cabaret star, who is the vocal coach for numerous Broadway
stars, performs an eclectic mix of new and classic tunes from the Great American
Songbook.
Reviews of Marianne Challis: + New York Post: "Marianne Challis is Betty White in
cabaret - spunky, bright, satirical... and she has Mermanish rhythms. This is truly a
silver Challis." + Opera News: "A blazing talent (that) connected profoundly with
every song she tackled... Lovers of first-class pop singing should catch Marianne
Challis at her next major engagement." + Cabaret Scenes: "Like a fine wine (that
has) continued to mature in a most satisfying way... and, being witty and personable,
keeps her audience charmed as she segues from song to song with anecdotes and
asides."
During the Fall cabaret season (October-December 2008), each of the cabaret
performers will do an 8 p.m. show on Friday and Saturday -- except for The Four
Freshmen, which will perform Wednesday through Saturday, December 17-20.
During January through April 2009, the 8 p.m. shows will run Tuesday through
Saturday, with a 10 p.m. late show on Friday and Saturday - except for Jack Jones
(February 24 - March 7) who is not scheduled to perform any late shows.
The Colony Hotel - which The Palm Beach Post has hailed as "probably the best
cabaret on the planet" - plans another sizzling, song-filled season at the hotel's
celebrated Royal Room, featuring some really hot headliners straight from
Manhattan's most sophisticated nightspots and Broadway - including, in fact, a Royal
Room regular who was a 2008 Tony Award nominee.
For all Royal Room evening performances, the doors open at 6:45 p.m. for dinner and
the show starts around 8. To make reservations, call the hotel box-office at
