Kim David Smith - Cabaret (Mostly Marlene)

Kander & Ebb’s “Cabaret,” is reimagined and rearranged by Kim David Smith and longtime music director, Tracy Stark, and features as the eleven o'clock number on Smith’s Dietrich-drenched new live album: Mostly Marlene. Mostly Marlene releases worldwide, Friday, March 21, and is available for pre-save and preorder at all major online music retailers from Friday, February 21. https://linktr.ee/admin Mostly Marlene, recorded live at the famed New York nightspot, Joe’s Pub, features fabulous guest vocalists: pop wunderkind Bright Light Bright Light and New York cabaret legend Sidney Myer. In addition to the concert, the 21-track album also features four bonus studio duets with Tony nominated playwright and performer Charles Busch, downtown luminary Joey Arias, Australian opera star Ali McGregor, and Smith’s own darling mother Linda Randall. The album and upcoming concert feature music director Tracy Stark on piano, in addition to Matt Podd on accordion, Skip Ward on bass, and David Silliman on drums. The recording celebrates the music associated with Marlene Dietrich (1901-1992), the German/American actress, singer, fashion icon, and provocateur. With a focus on Marlene’s collaborations with Weimar-era composer Friedrich Hollaender, the program sees Smith’s queer mega-muses – Minnelli, Minogue, Madonna, and more – collide with Dietrich’s reimagined repertoire in luxurious musical rearrangements, traveling from Weimar Berlin, to Hollywood, through to the battlefields of Europe, and beyond. Smith says: “Mostly Marlene is a 21-track behemoth of joyous gay sensibilities; Minnelli, Minogue, and of course, Marlene, are manifested not only in the idolatry practice of queer worship (arguably an artform in and of itself), but also as a musical tableau against which I exist in my gayest form: as an internationally fame-ish cabaret nuisance. Releasing this record in 2025 feels akin to an act of protest, in fact, I declare it as such: wreathing myself in the music of one of the world’s most celebrated bisexuals, I pronounce myself QUEER with every whispered aside, and every belted showtune alike, and in the listening of Mostly Marlene, I invite my audience to celebrate queer existence as resistance.” Album artwork by Michael J.
