3 For The Show is an acclaimed cabaret show starring Trudi Mann, Laura Hull, and Esther Beckman and directed by Bistro Award-winning Gerry Geddes. The show, filled with delightful songs, ranging from the best of the Great American Songbook to little known gems to hilarious comic songs, won acclaim when it debuted at New York’s Midtown Cabaret Festival in 2004. The show continued to garner accolades during its successful run at Mama Rose’s Cabaret in New York City and the Cabaret at Odette’s in New Hope, PA. This show continues to dazzle at private events around the tri-state area. Jazz singer Trudi Mann conceived of the show after receiving an invitation to appear at the festival. She invited Laura and Esther to sign on and they haven’t looked back since. They entertain audiences with stunning arrangements of some of the most recognized vocal-group songs of the 30s, 40s 50s, and 60s. The great fun and enjoyment of working together is obvious when you see them in performance. |

"3 For The Show" was the name of the game at St. Peter's Midtown Jazz at Midday! Vocalists Trudi Mann, Laura Hull and Esther Beckman are terrific together, harmonically and personality-wise. Everyone left with a great big smile on their face, and a little more love in their heart."
