Just got back from catching the first performance of Matt Howe & Dean Reichard’s debut cabaret Double Entendre. Matt and Dean seem to be having a lot of fun, and the show is filled with terrific material. Dean’s People That You Never Get to Love was quite touching, and Matt scored with a beautifully simple Bein’ Green and an uprorious Everybody’s Girl.
Here’s a cabaret lesson: someone who was complaining about doing choreography looked pretty darn good doing it!
The show reapeats tomorrow night at 8:00pm at CHAW (545 7th St SE, Washington DC). $15 Reservations.

Dean and Matt both made me laugh and cry (Matt with “Bein Green” and Dean with “Help Is On The Way.” Now THAT’s cabaret. Beautiful job, fellas.
