RHYTHM, RADIANCE, AND RACONTEURS:
THE ROOST REVUE OPENS AT THE ROOST LOUNGE

This summer, The Roost Lounge introduces a bold new addition to its entertainment lineup, a cabaret series curated and hosted by acclaimed local performer Jason Mannino. Blending song, story, and spark, The Roost Revue will showcase stellar talent from across the Coachella Valley and beyond in an intimate, dynamic setting. The plan is for The Roost Revue to run monthly through the end of the year. Celebrating artistry, connection, and music, patrons can expect to experience stellar talent in an intimate setting.

Whether you’re a longtime lover of cabaret or discovering it for the first time, The Roost Revue offers an unforgettable experience that will leave you wanting more. “Cabaret thrives on connection,” says Mannino. “The goal is to create a space that’s as joyful and surprising for the audience as it is meaningful for the performers. It’s part salon, part variety show, part homecoming.”

Guest performers will range from seasoned Broadway and cabaret pros to emerging voices across genres, including musical theatre, drag, comedy, and jazz. Whether you’re in the mood for big laughs, intimate storytelling, or simply great music and company, The Roost Revue promises unforgettable nights where talent takes both the mic and the spotlight.

The series kicks off on August 27, 2025, at 7 p.m. with a terrific lineup:

• Joe Savant, a Broadway veteran known for his roles in Beauty and the Beast (Gastón and the Beast), Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Peter Pan with Cathy Rigby. Joe has also toured nationally/internationally with shows including The Unsinkable Molly Brown with Debbie Reynolds, Aida, Peter Pan, Evita and The Mitzi Gaynor Show and appeared locally with Desert Theatricals as Emile de Becque in South Pacific.
• Jaci Davis, a celebrated performer and educator, is the recipient of 8 Desert Star Awards and recently won for her acclaimed cabaret/revue Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda… Did!, which premiered at Revolution Stage Company last spring.
