I will be prepping the piano for this event. Today would be a great time to check out the Cabaret at the Commons series! 🎶

Name a more iconic duo… we’ll wait.

✨ An Evening with Tony Nominee Max von Essen (An American in Paris, Chicago, Anastasia, Evita) is a love letter to the golden age of Broadway. With his soaring tenor, captivating storytelling, and irresistible charm, Max delivers an unforgettable night of elegance, heart, and pure showbiz magic.

🎹 He’s joined by music director and jazz legend Billy Stritch , whose career includes collaborations with icons like Liza Minnelli and Tony Bennett.

Don’t miss this extraordinary evening of song, style, and star power — right here in Columbus.
