In 2024, the Rittenhouse Grill introduced its own cabaret series, “An Evening with Me,” produced by Randy Swartz. Inspired by the legendary performances at New York’s Café Carlyle, the series brings cabaret and Broadway stars to an intimate stage for unforgettable nights of live music. The celebrated experience has returned in 2025 with an exciting, star-studded lineup, happening monthly now.

Adam Pascal from Rent Fame

In September I attended where Adam Pascal performed two sold out shows on Monday September 29 and Tuesday September 30.

During these evenings at the Rittenhouse Grill, a three-course prix fixe dinner is also included in the VIP and standard tickets before the performance. The menu offers patrons a choice of roast prime rib, 1⁄2 rack of lamb, Iberico pork chops, a fillet of salmon, and an appetizer (spanning clams casino, roasted tomato soup or two salad options). The dining experience is then complete with one of the four house-made desserts (tax and gratuity are included in the price of each ticket).

Bill Osman ⁠and John Wind

It was the 2nd time the nearly married a year duo attended, and they told me they already have tickets for next weeks show with Darius de Haas on October 20.

They’ll also be attending the Christine Ebersole Two-time Tony winner, Drama Desk Award“War Paint” (with Patti LuPone),” Brigadoon” with Billy Stritch show. He is a Grammy Award-winning composer and Musical Director for Liza Minnelli for 25 years. This is one not to miss!!

Cabaret is for folks of all ages. Hope to see you at one of the upcoming events. Sheila and her sister sat on the “stage” for the concert only, and are $75

Head to Rittenhouse Grill for the upcoming schedule. You will love it. It’s a relaxed evening with friends, enjoying cabaret music you know, and enjoy.
