Scott Siegel outdid himself this year at the 2010 NIGHTLIFE AWARDS hosted by a raucous Bruce Vilanch at Town Hall. Conceived and produced by Scott the awards honor the critic’s selections from the New York club world – cabaret, jazz, and comedy. The winners perform instead of giving the usual acceptance speechs. Everyone was wonderful, but Christine Ebersole, Cheyenne Jackson, Tovah Feldshuh, and James Barbour were stand outs from the marvelous evening directed by Scott Thompson with musical direction by Tedd Firth.
