Goeltenbodt, with producer and “Chicago Queen of Cabaret,” Denise Tomasellos have brought back the supper club experience there, which had all but disappeared from the Chicago scene. This is Goeltenbodt’s second appearance on Piano Bar Live! having previously been a guest a little more than a year ago at Brandy’s.
Most people know Karen Mason as an award-winning Broadway star, but in the world of cabaret and piano bars she’s one of our own. Mason has performed at The Duplex on Grove Street where she could be found singing in the piano bar, doing a promo before her show and hanging out afterwards. Chicago native Mason is a 13-time MAC Award-winner (Major Female Vocalist for six years in a row) and was recently the recipient of the 2019 MAC Lifetime Achievement Award. She also won the 2006 Nightlife Award for Major Female Vocalist and has three Bistro Awards. Theatrically, Mason was recently seen as Madame Giry in the North American Premier of Love Never Dies, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s sequel to The Phantom of the Opera. Other roles include starring as The Queen of Hearts in Broadway’s Wonderland, the original Tanya in Abba’s Mamma Mia! (for which she received a 2002 Drama Desk nomination as Best Actress), Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, Velma von Tussel in the final Broadway company of Hairspray, Mazeppa in Jerome Robbins’ Broadway, Rosalie in Carnival (Drama Desk nomination) and many more. Mason won the Outer Critics Circle Award for her performance in And The World Goes ‘Round and starred Off-Broadway in her own show, Karen Mason Sings Broadway, Beatles & Brian.
