BREAKING NEWS:
Margaret is honored to have been chosen to receive a prestigious 2024 Bistro Award as "Outstanding Vocalist"!
2024 Bistro Awards Honoree Press Release & Ticket Info For Awards' Event & Show
The BISTRO AWARD was established by Bob Harrington in 1985 in his “Bistro Bits” column in the trade weekly Back Stage, then under the editorship of Sherry Eaker. For the first few years, the awards were merely listed in Harrington’s column as notable performances he had seen during the calendar year. The first formal presentation of the awards was held in 1990 at Eighty Eight’s, a popular cabaret venue in the West Village. From there, the show moved on to The Ballroom in Chelsea, and then relocated to the Supper Club in the Broadway District, where it remained for many years. This year marks the 18th year at Gotham Comedy Club.
The guidelines that Harrington set up for himself to determine the first winners have become the basic philosophy behind the Bistro Awards, which recognize achievement in a wide variety of categories — from outstanding performances to outstanding contributions by members of the cabaret community. The object is not to choose the “best” of anything of the year, but to recognize and congratulate the accomplishments of those who have done something special. Accordingly, categories can easily be created from year to year as they best fit the year’s distinguished work.
Some of the Bistro’s special honorees have included Ronny Whyte (2023); Jimmy Webb (2022), Petula Clark (2021); Richard Maltby and David Shire (2020); Judy Collins (2019); André De Shields (2018); Darlene Love (2017); Jon Hendricks (2016); Ben Vereen (2014); Melissa Manchester and Dee Dee Bridgewater (2012); Dionne Warwick and Carol Channing (2011); Mitzi Gaynor and Elaine Stritch (2010); Charles Aznavour and Liza Minnelli (2009); Marilyn Maye (2008); Betty Buckley (2007); Steve Ross (2006); as well as Dame Cleo Laine and Sir John Dankworth, Bobby Short, Eartha Kitt, Barbara Cook, and many others.

MERRY GOOD ENOUGH REVIEWS:
“We care about these people and it was a pleasure to spend time with a family crafted with such honesty. This is an affectionate and warm-hearted tale rich in feeling and character; a moving tribute to connection, family, and the holiday spirit.
-Anthony Francis, The Movie Revue
“If you are drowning in the whipped cream froth of traditional holiday fare and can’t find a movie that reflects your difficult feelings about the time of year, then Merry Good Enough is the best gift you could give yourself this season.”
-Michael Talbot-Haynes, Film Threat
"The film feels real in a way that many audiences will find familiar — specifically, the imperfect familial relationships that belie the colorful surface perfection of the holiday tableau."
- Annette Hinkle, 27East
