THE JOEY ENGLISH SHOW- The Voice of the Desert

Joey English interviewed many of the featured artists from CVRep's 2026 Summer Cabaret Season on her radio program, heard on 100.9 FM and 95.9 HD4. To listen to these engaging conversations, visit JoeyEnglish.com and explore her interview archives.

Be sure to also to read Joey's reviews of this season's performances, including her review of Broadway star Davis Gaines, below and available here: https://www.joeyenglish.com/post/july-reviews-2026.

#13 - 7.30 — “I started singing when I was three years old. I've worked with—and listened to—the very best, from Judy Garland to Tony Bennett, and just about everyone else in between. We all shared the same basic instruments: lungs, vocal cords, and whatever God-given talent we were fortunate enough to have. But I have NEVER seen anyone sing the way Davis Gaines does. He doesn't just sing with his magnificent voice (2000 performances of "Phantom" on Broadway, LA and San Francisco)...he sings with his entire body. Every muscle, every movement, every breath, every heartbeat seems to become part of the music. He doesn't perform a song—he lives it. And when he's finished, you don't just remember what you heard...you remember what you felt!
Thanks to Adam Karsten, Jimmy Cuomo and CVREP for bringing the magic yet again.”

CVRep was COOKIN'!

Multi-award -winner Broadway, film, television and concert star MARY VANARSDEL introduced her new cabaret show - The Barbara Cook Songbook - for CVRep's Summer Cabaret Series.

A brilliantly performed, heartfelt tribute to the legendary Broadway, concert, and club star BARBARA COOK.
If you don't know who Barbara Cook was and did not attend the July 23 performance - first your shame! Then Google both artists and find out just what you missed.
Glorious music, fantastic storytelling, and a great night for the record books.
