COCKTAILS & CABARET

Francesca Amari + Jeff Lantz

A Fizzy Blitz of tunes, tales, cabaret with a splash of mischief!

Step into the VIP Lounge for Cocktails and Cabaret, hosted by Francesca Amari and Jeff Lantz along with special guests. With a fizzy mix of mod pop, yacht rock, Broadway show tunes, classic Rat Pack gems, and interactive fun, this swinging night out is equal parts music and laughter. Add in silly stories, surprise special guests, and a healthy dose of audience panache, and you’ve got a cabaret that’s as effervescent as a cocktail and twice as much fun. In fact, we've created our own special cocktail: a FIZZBLITZ!!!
