A Cabaret Showdown: Klug v. Klug

Friday, November 21st
A fundraiser for VACT

One Night. Two Teams. Endless Talent.

Join us Friday, November 21, for an unforgettable evening as two teams of VACT fan favorites face off in a Cabaret Showdown for the Ages! The music begins at 7:30, but we encourage you to arrive at 7:00 to be a part of the pre-show lobby antics.

Captains Kelsey Klug and Ryan Klug (no relation, plenty of rivalry) will lead their handpicked teams—eight powerhouse performers total—through three thrilling rounds of musical magic. Expect solos, duets, and quartets spanning beloved classics, fresh obsessions, and hidden gems you’ll be humming for days.

How do we pick a winner?
You do! Every ticket comes with voting power—and you’ll have chances to snag more votes before the show and during both intermissions.

What is this voting all about?
VOTES
will be an incredibly important part of the festivities for our Cabaret Showdown. After each round, you can cast as many votes as you want for whichever team you want! One Vote here, two votes there, split them up based on each song…however you want to do it! Some votes will be included with your event ticket, but this is a fundraiser after all, and as such, you can buy more votes before the show and throughout the evening. 

Whichever team is behind in the voting after each round will have to suffer (in no way) DEADLY consequences. Ultimately, the team with the most votes will win, but this isn’t just about bragging rights! What will the losers have to endure Securing your tickets is the only way to find out!

 All performances will be accompanied by the incomparable Mickey Lytle, who brings the tunes and keeps the peace as our cabaret referee.

🍷 Adult beverages available
🎶 All proceeds go to support Verona Area Community Theater—keeping the lights on, the curtains rising, and the stories coming to life.

So... who wins?

The audience, dear friends. Always the audience.
