Seattle Cabaret Festival Returns to The Triple Door

Seattle Cabaret Festival 2023 returns to The Triple Door with a magnificent opening night showcase hosted by Arnaldo! Drag Chanteuse (“Silky gowns and a silken voice” – City Arts) and featuring Weimar Berlin-inspired cabaret rock band The Love Markets (“Irresistible… A deliciously dark carnival” – Seattle Magazine).

The night’s lineup also spotlights the lush harmonies and jive rhythms of the Sirens of Swing; wicked a cappella hijinks from Bodacious Ladyhood; jazz-age Paris creations from avant-garde duo Siren + Sinewave; classics from “crooner” Art Anderson, Piaf storyteller Faye B Summers, and BroadwayWorld award-winner Judy Ann Moulton; and a wild ride on the 88s with the ever-funky John Engerman.

This star-studded opening night kicks off a four-week festival presenting 17 artist acts, paired in unique combinations over 9 nights and 17 showtimes. The one-night-only opening event at the Triple Door is the perfect chance to see performances from some of the festival’s most high-powered acts, presented with maximum glamour by host Arnaldo! and anchored by special guest artists The Love Markets.

Seattle Cabaret Festival 2023 runs through May 27, with two uniquely curated showtimes every night on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at Egan’s Ballard Jam House.
