About Kevin

Nationally recognized cabaret artist, KEVIN WOOD, brings his extensive experience in
theater, musical theater and opera to his engaging, poignant and often comedic
performances.  Cabaret Scenes has called him “a masterful storyteller.”  Stephen Moser
writing for BroadwayWorld states that” Kevin presents an act as a series of vignettes,
personal observations, and anecdotes, an act reminiscent of those created by the likes
of Charles Nelson Reilley, Imogene Coca, and Comden and Green.  The entire
production and every aspect of it is an example of what the classical cabaret show
formula is, and why it endures to this day.”

In addition to his work in cabaret, Kevin created the roles of the Senator and Professor
Walsh in the musical, “Manuel Versus the Statue of Liberty” at the 2014 NYMF Festival
held in New York City.  He is also a former Jeff-Nominated Music Director here in
Chicago for his work on “Queen Lucia,” created by fellow Chicago-based cabaret
performer, George Howe.

Besides numerous local cabaret appearances at Davenport’s, The Oil Lamp Theater
(Glenview), The Skokie Theatre, The Venus Cabaret at The Mercury Theater, Borelli’s,
Kevin travels frequently to perform at venues including those in New York City, NY, Ft.
Lauderdale, FL, West Palm, FL, Palm Springs, CA, Boston, MA, St. Louis (MO),
Waterford, CT and Boca Raton, FL.  You can follow his exploits on his website,

Though technically “retired,” Kevin is still also very active as a substitute church
musician, accompanist/voice teacher and volunteer.  And when he’s not working, you
can most likely find him on a pickle ball court!
