If Rufus Wainwright were more absurd, more foppish, and more melodramatic, he would be Adam Dugas. I ventured to West Hollywood's elegant hotel Palihouse to see Adam play his special brand of cabaret with harpist Mia Theodoratus. Adam is a New Yorker who does an annual Christmas-on-acid extravaganza called Chaos and Candy that was one of my favorite things to do every year in NYC. He was also the mastermind behind the Weimar-inspired vaudeville/cabaret performance troupe, the Citizen's Band.
