The warm lights of The Lincoln Center welcome you in from the bustling streets of downtown Fort Collins. Inside, the lobby hums with anticipation as guests enjoy complimentary appetizers and drinks. The excitement builds until the Performance Hall doors open. Next, you’re ushered to your seats—on The Lincoln Center stage—mere feet away from the evening’s highly acclaimed performer. Suddenly, this isn’t just another night at The Lincoln Center. You’re no longer just watching the performance—you’re part of it! Welcome to a new way to experience live music. Welcome to Center Stage Cabaret.
“With Center Stage Cabaret, we’re offering theatergoers a truly new and immersive experience,” says Eileen May, Director of Arts and Culture. “By placing audiences directly onstage, we invite patrons to share the perspective of the performers while capturing the intimacy of a jazz club—bringing them just feet away from some of Broadway’s finest entertainers. Enhancing the jazz club atmosphere, patrons will also enjoy access to an onstage cash bar throughout the performance, making Center Stage Cabaret the most exciting and unforgettable new way to experience a live performance.”
There are three ways to enjoy The Lincoln Center’s Center Stage Cabaret. Guests can sip cocktails at tables closest to the artist, fully immersed in the performance. Others may prefer to enjoy the “high life” at our high-top tables and chairs along the edge of the stage, offering a unique vantage point while remaining part of the action. Or, patrons can enjoy the show in more traditional theater-style seating on elevated risers behind the tables. No matter where you sit, every ticket includes complimentary pre-show appetizers, one complimentary drink, access to a cash bar and one unforgettable evening.
The inaugural year of Center Stage Cabaret launches with a bang, featuring two of Broadway’s finest performers.
Cheyenne Jackson takes the Cabaret stage on March 15, 2026. An EMMY and GRAMMY nominee, Jackson brings his infectious charm and powerhouse vocals to the stage with Signs of Life, a musical meditation on art, love, fatherhood and the cosmic twists that have shaped his remarkable path. Featuring music ranging from Sam Cooke and Elvis Presley to Lady Gaga and Chappell Roan, the evening blends toe-tapping melodies with saucy showbiz anecdotes for a night filled with whimsy, laughter and the sheer joy of a perfectly imperfect night of shared experience.
On April 4, 2026, Sincerely, Sondheim brings another Broadway standout to The Lincoln Center cabaret stage. From the Tony-winning revival of Company playing opposite Patti LuPone to making his Broadway debut as Tarzan in the Disney stage musical, Nicholas Rodriguez is celebrated for pairing big talent and intimate storytelling. In Sincerely, Sondheim, Rodriguez honors 100 years of Stephen Sondheim, weaving together stories drawn from thousands of handwritten letters to fans and colleagues. Through Sondheim’s own words, the performance explores his relationships with legendary artists such as Oscar Hammerstein II, Jerry Herman, Jonathan Larson and Lin-Manuel Miranda—alongside Rodriguez’s own personal reflections.
Seating for both performances is limited, so be sure to get your tickets for this one-of-a-kind experience today. Tickets are available at LCtix.com.
