For her farewell concerts at Birdland Theater, Christina Bianco brought her A-Game... and a lot of friends.

As the air at Birdland is filled with Bravas, Christina Bianco says goodbye in style.

What happens when Patti LuPone meets Lady Gaga? Watch as your favorite Broadway stars put their stamp on songs from the movie musicals you haven't seen on stage yet! Christina Bianco sings as Bernadette Peters, Patti LuPone, Idina Menzel, Alice Ripley, Bebe Neuwirth, Bette Midler, Christine Baranski, Kristin Chenoweth, Julie Andrews & Liza Minnelli.

Man of music Brad Simmons stands with many who rely on his work, but there are many sides to the man at the keyboard, as this interview shows.

Gina Naomi Baez and Christina Bianco have released a hilarious Wicked parody, called What is this Quarantine? The song is set to the tune of Wicked song, What is This Feeling?

The Broadway at Birdland concert series was proud to host the return of singer/impressionist Christina Bianco in concert on Monday, May 29. BroadwayWorld has photos from the evening below!

The Broadway at Birdland concert series was proud to present acclaimed singer, actor and impressionist Christina Bianco, who returned to the historic stage with her solo show, PARTY OF ONE, this past Sunday and Monday. Scroll down for photos from the concerts!

Christina Bianco is truly the girl with a thousand voices! She proved it on Monday night during her Birthday Bash at Birdland - which was a jam-packed, super-fun extravaganza! Divas like Celine, Idina, Bernadette, Adele, even Drew Barrymore were represented by the Big Voice of Bianco - and happily, her own sound was an important part of the evening! Accompanied by Brad Simmons, there were songs by John Bucchino and Bobby & Kristen Anderson Lopez, special guests (Michael West, Tamara Paulino, Jessica Vosk, J.P. Hartmann, Jim Caruso and hubby Billy Ernst), and hilarious rants about being 'too cute.'

One of the many reasons I've been a fan of the Opening Doors Theatre Company since their debut production of Bring Back Birdie two-and-a-half years ago is the consistent ability of their directors and choreographers to have as many as a dozen actors singing and dancing on the small cabaret stage of The Duplex (already occupied by a piano) without ever looking crowded. But that's not a concern with their newest venture, the hilarious and tuneful Cy Coleman/Michael Stewart 1977 musical, I Love My Wife.
