Jill Kargman: Stairway to Cabaret

On her Bravo sitcom, Odd Mom Out, writer-performer Kargman plays a woman navigating the shallow and turbulent waters of monied Upper East Side society. Now she extends the joke by putting a cabaret spin on heavy-metal songs at one of the neighborhood's swankiest landmarks, accompanied by Marco Paguia on piano and directed by Trip Cullman. While the musical sequences sometimes seem perfunctory, the comedy is sharp.
