Our Hit Parade, the star-studded monthly show thrice named one of the Top Ten Cabaret Acts by Time Out NY, has been selling out Joe’s Pub for three years. While its longtime home is closed for renovations, OHP is moving to the Highline Ballroom for three shows packed with summer jams!
OUR HIT PARADE Summer Shows at the Highline!
July 19, 2011, 8pm, Summer Jams of the 80s!

Our Hit Parade is a top-ten-pop-song countdown show based on the long-running Your Hit Parade, which appeared on radio and then television from 1935 to 1959. On that show, cast members performed the week’s most popular songs as comically literal skits. In this show, the hosts and special guest stars from the local performance scene present their renditions of current popular hits live on stage!
Popular recent performances (all viewable on the OurHitParade YouTube page) include:
* Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre) doing Nirvana (featured on CNN.com and named by Greil Marcus part of his ‘Real Life Rock Top Ten” in The Believer.)
* Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family) doing Lady Gaga
* Randy Harrison (Queer as Folk) doing Usher
* Lili Taylor doing Bruno Mars
* Alan Cumming doing Shania Twain
* The Magnetic Fields doing Katy Perry
The growing OHP family includes: Adam Horovitz of the Beastie Boys, Mary Testa, Tracy Bonham, Erin Markey, Cole Escola, Molly Pope, Jenn Harris, John Norris, Larry Krone and Jim Andralis, Carolyn Castiglia, Sherry Vine, Trapper Felides, Gretchen Phillips, Corn Mo, Clint Michigan, Taylor Mac, Jackie Hoffman, Poor Baby Bree, Corey Tut, Shockwave, Myles Kane, Amber Martin, M. Lamar, ML Wooley, Kalup Linzy, David Neumann, Billy Eichner, Miguel Gutierrez, Reggie Watts, and Care Bears On Fire.
Our Hit Parade has also toured to the TBA Festival in Portland, the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, and the Adelaide Cabaret Festival in Australia.
At the Highline, hosts Kenny Mellman (Kiki & Herb), Neal Medlyn (pop opera impresario), and Bridget Everett (At Least It’s Pink) will play camp counselors to the usual crew of downtown performance artists, Broadway stars, rock bands, choreographers, video artists, and more—each putting their own wild spin on the biggest pop songs of the summer!
