Back by popular demand, Bistro, BroadwayWorld, and MAC Award winning artist, Lisa Viggiano will bring her new show, LISA VIGGIANO SINGS THE JANE OLIVOR SONGBOOK to the legendary Don't Tell Mama. Dates include November 27 at 6 pm, December 19 at 7 pm, and January 19 at 7 pm.

What Lisa Viggiano has as a performer that was not apparent in Jane Olivor’s work is a wry and ironic sense of humor. When Viggiano allows her spirit to come front and center, the show she has created with director Mark Nadler really flies. However, for much of the performance, it feels as if Ms. Viggiano is attempting to constrain her own ebullient personality into the earnest, serious personality of Jane Olivor. I left the show wanting less Jane Olivor and more Lisa Viggiano. In short, Jane is cramping Lisa’s style.

It was another great week at THE LINEUP and Matt Baker has the photographic evidence.

Lisa Viggiano will play her new Jane Oliver-themed cabaret show in October at the Laurie Beechman Theatre.
