Ready for some good old razzle-dazzle? This Friday, the little jazz club on Walnut Street assembles a few city voices for a classic cabaret called “Voix de Ville,” complete with singers, dancers, actors, a 10-piece band and a gaggle of drag queens for good measure. The set list promises to sample a whole century of hits, from Cole Porter right on up to Beyonce and Lizzo.

The weekly series, at 7 p.m. each Friday through Oct. 18, will differ each time, but guests can expect to see a mix of professional talent from Noce impresario Max Wellman, singer Napoleon Douglas, bandleader Jason Danielson, Ballet Des Moines dancers Amelia and Logan Hillman, drag queens Tyona Diamond and Domita Sanchez, and plenty more.
