Hello, I'm Richard Ridge for Broadway World
0:02
Award-winning playwright, entertainer, and rock on tour, Charles Bush, is returning to Feinstein's 54 Below with his brand-new nightclub act
0:11
called My Kind of Sixties, along with his musical director, Tom Judson
0:15
beginning on October 17th for four performances only. And we drop by Charles' gorgeous Greenwich Village home
0:22
to bring you a sneak peek. By the time I make Albuquerque
0:27
She'll be working She'll probably stop at lunch And give me a call
0:39
And she'll just hear that phone Keep on ringing Off the wall
0:51
That's all That song Well first of all thank you for opening your home Yes it so Barbara Walters having you here I love this
1:09
This is really exciting. You're about to return to Feinstein's 54 Below for which engagement it is
1:16
How many times have you been there? Oh my god. That's a good question. A lot
1:20
I mean counting the individual New Year's Eve thing, it could be five or six
1:27
I think we got there pretty early too I played myself a couple of times so kind of yeah
1:31
are you excited about returning yes we love it there yeah I love it
1:35
and I'm excited about this new show that we're doing it's in some ways
1:39
our most ambitious cabaret show we've been I've known Tom for 35 years
1:46
but we've only been working together for about 5 and this show
1:50
it's called My Kind of 60s and so it's all music from the 60s
1:54
from Broadway film pop but I'm really telling it through the lens of my own experience growing up
2:01
because I went from 6 to 16 in the 60s and I totally was me at six So it rather almost an adult perspective I had back then And it very much about my relationship with my aunt who raised me kind of like Auntie
2:17
Mane here in Manhattan. And the 60s played an enormous part of our lives, the event of the 60s
2:26
We're trying to put it all into the show and we're still working on it. What are you both looking forward to the most about this new engagement
2:32
That's a good question. Well, it's one of my favorite rooms to play, period, anywhere
2:41
So just playing there, I love. I think one of the things is that playing in New York, in our hometown
2:48
so many people we know get to come see the show, as well as because we've been playing it 54 so long and so frequently
2:57
we know we have audience members that we didn't know before we were
3:01
performing that just for me and Cabaret I'm you know if you want big
3:05
huge notes don come to my show but what what do I have to offer Well I a storyteller and an actor And I think using those gifts I think we do something very special
3:19
I like to think so. By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping
3:27
She'll turn slowly and call my name out low And she'll be crying just to think I'd really leave her
3:45
Though time and time I tried to tell her so She just didn't know
