Steve Ross continues to delight and enthrall audiences internationally.  Launching his career in the 1970’s at Ted Hook’s immensely popular nightspot Backstage, Steve’s career took off when he became the first cabaret performer after 40 years in the newly restored Oak Room at the legendary Algonquin Hotel in New York.  This put him in the vanguard of the cabaret revival in New York, and eventually around the United States, including on and off-Broadway.  In addition, his career began expanding internationally.  As self-proclaimed Anglophile, Steve was happy to begin dinner cabaret at The Ritz in London.  He enjoyed numerous sold-out seasons at the Music Room at Pizza on the Park.  He has also performed in Brazil, played the Spoleto Festival, the Hong Kong Arts Festival, and the Perth Festival in Australia. 

In 1989 Steve was asked to host a live cabaret series for the BBC.  In the U.S. he was also the host of a popular radio series for National Public Radio, “New York Cabaret Nights.”

Steve will return to London as part of “The American Songbook in London” at The Jermyn Street Theatre and unveil his tribute to the Stephen Sondheim songbook.  Please vistit www.steveross.net for further background on the remarkable career of Steve Ross.
