⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

Stella Cole at the Shubert Cabaret

Friday, March 20, 2026 (6:30 PM & 8:30 PM sets)

"It offers an intimate, heated, and sophisticated indoor experience at the Shubert’s secondary cabaret stage, avoiding the large theater crowds while delivering world-class vocal talent."

PRO TIP: Enter through the side Cabaret entrance rather than the main Shubert lobby to bypass Swan Lake ticket-holders.
