In the original company of "Hair" on Broadway, Baby Jane remains one of cabaret's most beloved and iconic artists whose moving and truthful performances focusing on songs of empowerment and survival earned wide critical acclaim and numerous accolades including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs (MAC) in 2015. She impacted many past, present and future artists' with her sold out shows as well as spending years working hands-on with at-risk youth offenders. Baby Jane made a vital impact and hers is a life to be celebrated.''
