Star of the West End's 'Rat Pack' and cabaret stalwart, Gary Williams, shares the secrets of his success in Cabaret Secrets – a practical guide with everything you need to create your own show, travel the world and get paid to do what you love.

Written for singers who want to create their own cabaret show, or improve the one they already have, Cabaret Secrets covers everything from finding a theme, scripting a show and running a rehearsal. There's lots of practical advice on how to find an agent, promoting your show and ordering musical arrangements.

Gary enlisted the help of cabaret stars like Steve Ross, Barbara Dickson and Jeff Harnar who agreed to share their own secrets in the book. He spoke to booking agents, cruise lines, West End musical directors, Hollywood makeup artistes, Broadway singers, lighting designers, sound engineers and celebrity vocal coaches.

The book's received high praise from industry insiders, including cabaret doyen Michael Feinstein who said, “The wisdom and knowledge contained in Gary's book is so valuable that I wish I'd had it when I was starting out as an entertainer! It's a marvellous achievement and could be your secret weapon.”

Author, David Ackert, said the book is a “career GPS for cabaret performers,” and Ruth Leons, Artistic Director for London's Crazy Coqs described it as, “The best guide ever written for the aspiring cabaret singer. Gary Williams’ generous sharing of his own secrets provides so much valuable information that it deserves to be read by anyone wanting a career in cabaret.”
