‘So Kaye was nominated for the prestigious IRNE award in 2001; since that time O’Neil has performed the show up and down the East Coast from Maine to Florida.
“Adding John O’Neil and ‘So Kaye to our season is exciting for us.
John has appeared with us in the past, but we are delighted to be able to showcase him in one of his most popular shows,” says Producing Director Benjamin Sears, who notes, “this is Kaye’s centenary year, so it’s a perfect time to feature John in an American Classics season.”
John O'Neil, one of New England's finest cabaret actors (Niagara Falls Gazette), has also been recognized by the Boston Globe as one of New England’s best-known cabaret artists.
Regularly appearing at popular nightclubs and cabarets across the country, an evening with John O'Neil equally charms the lover of the soulful cocktail pianist and the fan of the art of cabaret.
His show Camp Songs was named one of the year’s 10 best cabarets by Bay Windows newspaper in 2000.
O’Neil made his New York debut at Danny’s Skylight Room in Being Earnest: The Songs of Ernie Lijoi, also named one of Boston’s best cabaret shows in 2001.
Reviewers have called his show, Not That You Asked, “a perfect mix of standup comedy, song and personal anecdote” and “the best show of the season so far, cabaret or comedy, theater or soapbox.” In August of 2002, O’Neil released his CD ‘So Kaye: The Songs of Danny Kaye at Musikfest, the nation’s oldest and largest music festival.
In March of 2003, the Independent Reviewers of New England presented O’Neil with a special recognition award for his many contributions to the field of cabaret.
In the fall o2003, Black Arrow Entertainment produced a one hour video featuring O’Neil called Portrait of a Cabaret Singer.
In addition to his talents as an accomplished soloist, O’Neil often performs with local cabaret performers and has appeared on stage with the internationally acclaimed Ann Hampton Callaway.
Theater lovers have seen him on stage in Kander and Ebb’s And the World Goes 'Round and in the starring role of Miss Gulch Returns.
O’Neil is an enterprising educator, operating his own vocal studio, mounting performance master classes, and teaching at diverse educational institutions such as Wheelock Family Theater, Riverside Cabaret Institute, and Wind Song Educational Institute in Taiwan.
