This year, David will be once again performing as Liberace and will be playing original music written just for him by Bo Ayars, Liberace’s personal musical director from 1973-1986.”

“The line-up of performers for our second Cabaret Cupid is simply incredible,” said Anne Mueller, B&B’s Managing Director. “It is remarkable that so many of the region’s best-know and best-loved artists and performers have come together to make this event possible. It is rare to see this collection of talent, from so many different performance styles, all together in one place and time.”
