Lady Rizo to Play Los Angeles LGBT's Renberg Theatre, 10/30

The Los Angeles LGBT Center's Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center has announced the Renberg Theatre debut of New York's internationally acclaimed cabaret artist Lady Rizo. The one-night-only concert is on Thursday, October 30 at 8pm.

The "Cabaret Superstar" (New York Magazine), comedienne, and chanteuse revives the genre by creating vintage arrangements and theatrical explorations of pop songs from every decade. In 2005, Lady Rizo (née Amelia Zirin-Brown) co-created the cult CaBurlesque spectacular, Lady Rizo & the Assettes. In January 2010 she won her first Grammy Award on a duet with acclaimed cellist Yo-Yo Ma that was released on a holiday album featuring Diana Krall, James Taylor, and Alison Krauss, among others. Lady Rizo also sang and recorded with multi-platinum recording artist Moby and was nominated for an MVPA for the choreography in the video for the single "New York, New York," featuring Debbie Harry.

A proud recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts fellowship in 2010, Lady Rizo has performed her sold-out show monthly at Joe's Pub since 2009 and was commissioned for a full-length piece by the Public Theater which premiered as part of the New York Voices series in November 2011.
