Amanda Palmer Steps into the Kit Kat Klub

"Cabaret punk" is the term most often applied to Boston duo The Dresden Dolls. The band's frontwoman Amanda Palmer has been pursuing a solo career of late; her latest project is a collection of Radiohead covers on ukulele. But this fall, she'll be starring in a two-month revival of the musical Cabaret at the American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Massachussetts.

Palmer joins us by phone – from a rehearsal – to tell us about it.
