Musical Comedy Sister Duo Livestreams HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS WITH VICKIE & NICKIE

The well-known, hilarious musical-comedy sister duo, Vickie & Nickie, are back this holiday season with a free Facebook livestream of their new show, Home for the Holidays with Vickie & Nickie on Sunday, December 6th at 4pm EST. During this celebration of the holiday season "Minnesota-style," the multi-instrumental, singing housewife sisters will entertain you from their home with favorite holiday tunes and original songs, their fun "Ask Vickie & Nickie" segment and Vickie & Nickie Trivia Tee-shirt give-away, plus lots more holiday hoopla! Created, written and performed by real life sisters Lisa and Lori Brigantino, the fast-talking Midwestern moms will get you in the holiday spirit all while accompanying themselves on many different instruments including acoustic and electric guitars, keyboard, accordion, saxophone, ukuleles, percussion and more.

The Brigantino sisters have performed a number of Vickie and Nickie shows to rave reviews: Jenna Esposito of Broadwayworld.com says, "The talented Brigantino sisters put on a show unlike any other - their characters are complete, well-rounded, and immensely entertaining, and their musical talent is undeniable!" Downtown Express says "The kitschy duo are not only funny character comediennes, but very talented musicians, each of them switching off on numerous different instruments over the course of a set." And Jon Sobel of Blogcritics.com concludes "Vickie and Nickie, [are] two busy Midwestern moms who take to the stage to delight and entertain with humorous banter (abundant), multi-instrumental musical talents (considerable), and big ol' personalities (wickedly twisted, if all in good family-friendly fun)."

The creative sisters have written and performed over ten full length "Vickie & Nickie" shows to date including sold out performances of their holiday shows at The Duplex, Don't Tell Mama, Dixon Place and other NYC venues as well as several regional theatre performances at the Foothills Performing Arts Center in Oneonta, NY.
