BWW Reviews: Ken Haller's Delightful Cabaret - THE TV SHOW!
by Chris Gibson - Sep 21, 2012


Ken Haller's latest cabaret foray, "THE TV SHOW!" is a sheer delight, reveling in tunes that a lot of us grew up with emanating from the boob tube. It's an interesting approach, and Haller doesn't stick to just singing TV themes, but mixes in commercials, as well as tunes that were written for other mediums that reference the world of the cathode ray. All in all, it's a pleasant trip down memory lane with some familiar (and some less so) tunes that have permeated popular culture.
