PRIVATE LIVES CRITIC'S CHOICE

Outstanding Male Singer

"Certainly one of the best voices in cabaret today. McAssey proves there is such a thing as a male cabaret STAR!"

-- NEW YORK POST
 

"He manages to somehow be both cabaret's most accomplished balladeer and its wildest, most uninhibited musical clown."

--VARIETY
 

"McAssey is in his prime right now. A voice that is as rich, warm and enveloping as you could ever hope to hear. It's clear that he's a star of any stage upon which he performs."

-- Scott & Barbara Siegel, THEATERMANIA.COM
 

"Non-stop entertainment, punctuated as often by his dazzling vocal prowess as it is by his comic genius." -- BACKSTAGE
 

"Ready to sample some outstanding cabaret? There aren't enough opportunities for New Yorkers to enjoy the McAssey magic. Catch him NOW!"

-- CABARET SCENES MAGAZINE
 

"His voice has never sounded better...the years have added a polish and luster that give his readings more depth and substance and his calm, focused delivery is to be envied. Like a fine wine, McAssey is a consummate professional who the years have only made better."

​-- David Hurst, SHOW BUSINESS
 

"A supreme interpreter of a lyric, capable of exploding every emotion on stage from total buffoonery to tears."

-- PRIVATE LIVES
 

"...a terrific singer."

-- STEPHEN SCHWARTZ

(composer of WICKED, GODSPELL & PIPPIN)

"His CD is what great cabaret singing is all about."

-- DAVID FRIEDMAN
(award-winning Broadway, cabaret and film composer/conductor/arranger)

"A fine singer and musician with great taste in music."

-- DAVID ZIPPEL
(Tony-winning lyricist of CITY OF ANGELS and Oscar nominee for Disney's HERCULES)

 

"I've known Michael for years as a wonderful live performer and a vital part of the cabaret scene. How nice, at long last, to be able to enjoy my fellow piano man on his new disc."
--STEPHEN FLAHERTY

(Ragtime, Once On This Island, Suessical)
 

"HIGH-LARIOUS!" -- REBA McENTIRE
