LATE NIGHT NATS with Eden Casteel

CABARET- Kahn Artist: Madeline And Me

Friday, June 28 at 9:30 p.m. | Marriott Knoxville Downtown

Eden Casteel was a frustrated teenage soprano in Ohio whose life was forever changed by a Madeline Kahn beer commercial (it was Michelob). In thirty seconds of high-note humor, Kahn inspired Casteel to want to be just like her: "wealthy, glamorous, with an unbelievable singing voice." (Two out of three ain't bad.)

Beloved for Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, Kahn started as a classical soprano headed for opera — just like Casteel. With iconic songs, compelling stories, and hilarious anecdotes, Kahn Artist: Madeline And Me is an intimate look at the trials and triumphs of both Kahn and Casteel.

You’ll laugh and identify with Kahn’s (and Casteel’s) desire to sing and be funny at the same time. You’ll gasp when you learn the battles Kahn fought onstage and off. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for cabaret and for Kahn, who still inspires performers today.

Through his madcap drag diva Amanda Reckonwith, Sabella’s 4 octave range continues to dazzle audiences around the world singing greatest hits of Broadway, Pop, and Great American Songbook.
