What they're saying about Vickie & Nickie's
latest show,
" Inside
Vickie & Nickie!"...
"
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. This show, in particular, was designed
to give the audience more of a behind-the scenes look at the sisters
(Vickie & Nickie, not Lori & Lisa), so backstories had to be
created and embodied, which was done so well that at times
I forgot that
Vickie and Nickie are just characters!"
-Jenna Esposito, Broadwayworld.com
"
The musical-comedy duo Vickie and Nickie are back with a fresh hour of
brash singing, multi-instrumental musical hijinks, and faux-Midwestern
shtick. This time out, it's Inside Vickie and Nickie, an "autobiographical" tour
through the origins of the fast-talking Minnesota moms who are, as
always, played to the hilt by sumptuously bedecked and bewigged real-life
sisters
Lisa and Lori Brigantino."

What
they're saying about Vickie & Nickie!
"Adopting the personae
of two sisters from Minnesota...the gals could be descendants of
the Bleem Sisters of years gone by, sired by Garrison Keillor of NPR
fame.
Be-wigged and be-hair-sprayed, the gals present a show that is part
stand-up comedy,
part gong show. It is an hour of fun that had this audience member
nearly falling off his seat in laughter."
-Stu Hamstra, Cabaret Hotline
“Straight
from "the prison circuit" and the land of lutefisk – Garrison
Keillor fans will know what that is – the pair poke good-natured
fun at middle-of-the-road American culture while revving up the crowd
with perfectly executed vocal harmonies and musicianship (keyboards,
guitar, uke, sax...)”… 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) .
– Jon Sobel, Bloccritics.com
"Funny, fast, fabulous!"
- Foothills Performing Arts Center
"This is one of the best
cabaret shows I've ever seen. Funny, fast, spontaneous, and the sisters
never dropped their amazing characters. I'm wondering if
there's an
instrument they DON'T play! Their timing and creativity are impeccable.
We ran the gamut of giggling
to belly laughs!
-Raissa Katona Bennett, Broadway and Cabaret Veteran
Lisa and Lori Brigantino
are comic and music brilliance.
Their version of "Single Ladies" rivals Gilda Radner from
the 1970's.
- Claudia Glaser-Mussen, member of the Grammy Award-nominated band
Brady Rymer And The Little Band That Could
“Their wacky minds and
musical talent jive as only sisters can…
simultaneously touching
and hysterical!”
-Susan
Haefner, Broadway performer (42nd Street, Thoroughly Modern Millie,
State Fair) and founder of Living Room Arts.
"These two multi-talented
sisters are the best new musical comedy
duo around today. Don't miss
them!"
-Peter Santora, (George Harrison) of the original Broadway, National
and London Productions of Beatlemania
