Ever want to hear Julie Andrews sing Aerosmith? This is the show for you! With Christina’s versatile vocals and rapid-fire impressions paired with Brian’s encyclopedic musical knowledge, you can expect an off-the-cuff musical comedy experience like non other – and never to be repeated!‘Something akin to a one woman orchestra’– Time Out‘Must we trot out the phrase, Tour De Force? Yes we must.’– The New York Times‘Bianco may be known for her impressions, but what audiences will take away from her shows are her humor, charm, and incredibly powerful voice rivaling the very divas she impersonates.’– BroadwayWorld
