Saturday December 6, 2025
6:00 PM

6 and 8pm

Spectacular, Spectacular! A Holiday Cabaret, invites local artists, and special guests to raise funds for Princeton Porchfest 2026. It is a fun-filled opportunity to bring together the community to laugh, sing, dance, and celebrate the accomplishments of the year. This year’s cabaret will once again be brought to life through the vision and enthusiasm of its organizers: Cheryl Fitzgerald, consummate stage performer, and Marion Young, Executive Director of Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts. A highlight of the program will be a special performance by Marian Torres, current star in the Broadway company of Alicia Keys’ Hell’s Kitchen. Torres — who has also graced the Broadway stage as Elphaba in Wicked — will perform a number from Wicked, offering audiences a rare, intimate musical moment.
