Poetry/Cabaret
About
Poetry /Cabaret in Midtown Manhattan stages spoken word and cabaret evenings just a block south of Times Square. At MiMA, 570 10th Avenue, the program mixes short dramatic pieces with live music and comic turns by rotating ensembles most nights. From art-song recitals to boundary-pushing monologue nights, the offerings can shift on a week-to-week basis—no two weeks feel identical—and the space keeps performances lean and focused on the craft itself.
Set inside one of Hell’s Kitchen’s more compact cultural venues, Poetry /Cabaret files its map of directions to the MiMA building entrance. Call ahead; tickets sometimes open only days out online and vanish quickly. Then plot the route to 570 10th Ave before heading over. 212-582-8839.
