Award-winning performer Hector Coris celebrates the release of the live recording of his acclaimed solo cabaret show.

In Life is Wonderful., Hector explores the musicality of mortality through the songs of Christine Lavin, Jason
Mraz, Brett Kristofferson, Kander & Ebb, Susan Werner, Ben Folds, My Chemical Romance and other contemporary songwriters.

Directed by Angela Shultz. Musical direction by Ray Bailey with Dale Henderson on cello.

"WOW, WHAT A SHOW! Thoughtful, thought-provoking, at times humorous, at times poignant, the show was filled with excellent material, and Hector's delivery was spot-on.  Major kudos, too, to Hector's director, Angela Shultz, and musical director Ray Bailey."
- Jenna Esposito, The Cabaret Chronicles

"Hector Coris presents a show unlike any I've seen before! He dares to sing about mortality
and easily travels from comedy to pathos, bringing the audience from laughter to tears within the breath of a moment. Life is Wonderful. is actually a healing experience."
- Kevin Scott Hall, EDGE New York

Hector sings "Fred Jones Part 2" (Ben Folds) from the show

"THIS ONE IS A MUST-SEE. I can't think of any collection of songs that quite match the ones performed." - Stu Hamstra, Cabaret Hotline Online

"UNUSUAL AND WELL-EXECUTED. This solo creation is no ordinary cabaret show."
- Peter Leavy, Cabaret Scenes

"The concept of the show is outstanding. It's unique, original, and Hector just kicks it right over the goalpost. It's a thought-provoking hour of entertainment."
- Sidney Myer, The Joey Reynolds Show

"I was so moved and impressed with LIFE IS WONDERFUL. Hector is a wonderful performer. His work is what cabaret is all about - taking yourself, your own, unique persona and expressing it through the music to create a work of art that isn't theater, that isn't a concert, that isn't a solo show. So what is it? CABARET! "
- Peter Napolitano (MAC Award winner)
