Greetings from your faithful, weary yet ecstatic, ever-editing Detroit and life-in-general cheerleader!<\/p>\n

Calling (well, emailing) all you Angelinos + anyone else descending upon the (warm, sunny) LA city limits on the beautiful Sunday evening of May 4 to come to the famed UnCabaret for\u00a0A SNAZZY BENEFIT<\/a>\u00a0SHINDIG for ALLEE WILLIS’S\u00a0“THE D”<\/a>!!<\/p>\n

Featuring stories and sing-alongs to some of my l’il hits like “September,” “Boogie Wonderland,” “Neutron Dance,” “I’ll Be There for You (the Friends theme)”, “What Have I Done To Deserve This?,” “Stir It Up,” “Lead Me On,” and the karate chopping “You’re The Best”. Plus a “DBay” thrift shop auction and wayyyyy way more!! Not to mention a chance to join the thousands of uplifted folks already on\u00a0“The D”<\/a>, a record, video and feature length film about human spirit as exemplified by the people of Detroit, which this special one-night-only performance benefits.<\/p>\n

If you don’t fully comprehend what the “THE D” is click\u00a0HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you need further proof that this is the real-deal-big-time thang check out\u00a0what ran on WDIV\/ NBC last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you question whether you’ll enjoy the music, 60,000,000 records and counting should tell you\u00a0something<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you aren’t sure you’ll spend an incredibly unique evening having a BALL, check out what People Magazine said of my soirees: “She throws parties that are works of art in themselves… the campiest hot tickets in LA.”<\/p>\n

All profits from “The D” go to two Detroit artistic crown jewels,\u00a0The Heidelberg Project<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Mosaic Youth Theatre Of Detroit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Seating is very limited so get your tickets – so reasonably priced at $20 and $30 it’s insane! –\u00a0HERE<\/a>. (http:\/\/uncabaret.laughstub.com\/show.cfm?id=313501&cart<\/a>) And if you want to go home with some of Allee’s prized kitsch collection you might want to have a little cash on hand too. And if you can’t come, please\u00a0DONATE HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Detroit and\u00a0I hope to see you<\/a>\u00a0Sunday night, May 4, at 8 PM. Doors open at 7:30.<\/p>\n
