The show has received many positive reviews; "Shana Farr proves to be a first-rate actor, unafraid to take big risks, both vocally and physically. She does not hold back, and she is exciting to watch." (Mark Dundas Wood - Bistro Awards). "This is a terrific show. Watching this sultry singer, with all the poise, beauty and talent that the arts allow, is something to behold. It really is far too limiting to label this classically trained performer as just a singer. She is much more than that."(John Weatherford - Theater Pizzazz). "Farr has created something surprisingly new by intertwining the words of those twin colossi of songwriting, weaving songs both familiar and offbeat, both singing and speaking the texts aloud as if they were prose-something that isn't supposed to work, yet somehow, it does. (Will Friedwald - Wall Street Journal)

On Thursday and Friday, June 12 and 13, at 7:00 PM, Shana will perform her new show, Songs At The Oscars, at Jack's Gourmet Restaurant in her hometown of Columbia, MO.

On Tuesday, June 17, at 6 PM, Shana is back in the Big Apple performing a Benefit for Dutch Treat Club, An Evening Of Cole Porter, at the Laurie Beechman Theatre. Tickets are $50 and reservations can be made at 212-395-6909. There is an additional charge for Food & Beverages.
