Due to popular demand, we are offering two shows and we are so excited because teacher TOM TUCKER is setting up class… at Josephine’s!
“WILL THIS BE ON THE TEST?” is a cabaret night of lightly and laughably instructive songs. Tom is teaching what he knows, sharing what he’s learned… 30 years teaching, 60 years living. Through song and story, Mister Tucker (Mr. T. to “his kids”) will explain it all to you, Boston! Life? Love? State Capitals? Senior discounts? Tom’s gonna cover a lot of ground in one hour. You may be moved to take notes! Bring him an apple, and you may be moved up front! Permission slips are not required; chocolate milk may be provided. Pop Quiz and (likely) nap time to follow immediately afterwards!
TOM TUCKER is a singer and middle-school English teacher from New York City… by way of Revere, Medford, and Southie. Teenage Tom started singing beside the piano of family friend (and Boston cabaret great), Dottie Dean.
NYC: The Supper Club with the Barry Levitt Orchestra, Don’t Tell Mama, The Lent-Riker Estate, Synchronicity Space SoHo. Tom sings on the Pippin (’13 revival) cast recording.
Boston: The Opera House, The Half Shell, Ryle’s, and seven previous appearances at Club Cafe: “Swingin’ Sixty!” and “Gimme A Little Room” at Josephine’s; “Blame It On The Moonshine,” “Another Manic Monday, My 80s Songbook,” “Fools First, April Second” and “Lower Keys And False Eyelashes,” all in The Moonshine Room. Tom also shared the Moonshine stage with wonderful Jan Peters as one of her Cabaret Spotlight artists; an absolute highlight! Tom frequently performs with Club Cafe favorite Janet Stanton, and Boston treasure/great pal/musical director Brian Patton.
JOSEPHINE’S in the NAPOLEON ROOM – Boston’s best professionals and tomorrow’s rising stars singing JAZZ, BROADWAY & MADCAP CABARET! Brunch seating starts at 11:00 am and the one hour show begins at 11:30 am. Dinner seating starts at 5:00 and the one hour show begins at 6:00 pm.
RESERVATIONS strongly recommended.
