"MUSICAL THEATER LOVING FRIENDS, IF YOU'RE NOT AT
MUSICAL MONDAYS ON THE FIRST MONDAY OF THE MONTH,
YOU ARE MISSING OUT!"
CHERRY AND SPOON
MUSICAL MONDAYS is a monthly cabaret series featuring musical theatre performers in the Twin Cities, presented on the first Monday of every month.
Founded in November 2012 by Sheena Janson Kelley and Max Wojtanowicz, Musical Mondays provides performance opportunities for local artists in a casual and supportive industry-night setting. Each Musical Monday is comprised of a roughly 90-minute set of musical theatre and cabaret songs compiled by the musicians. Admission is general seating on a first-come, first-serve basis, and while a donation is encouraged, no one is turned away.
The series launched at Hell's Kitchen in downtown Minneapolis and moved in 2017 to LUSH Lounge and Theater in northeast Minneapolis. To date, over 500 people have performed on the Musical Mondays stage, and in 2024, the Twin Cities theatre community gathered to celebrate Musical Monday's milestone 100th show!
