She plays it fast and loose with a new set list of eclectic songs and madcap antics. Juxtaposing the heyday of mid-century New York City nightlife with a downtown modern sensibility, she tackles material spanning the 20th century with her signature old-school style. She is joined on piano by the brilliant Brian J. Nash. Okay?
Nothing quite strikes fear in my heart upon entering a performance like the words 'audience participation'. Opening with Tori Amos' Precious Things, Taylor Mac pulled an unsuspecting audience member onstage to provide backing vocals.
