Another year and another visit from Denver's Alex Ryer and Emily Fellner! This time they are weaving their magic at the Santa Barbara Theater in two different shows—one on Thursday and one on Saturday. Alex and Emily will be here through the weekend of 3 February, so there is time to catch one or both of the shows.
The Thursday show focuses on Alex's own musical journeys and how she has developed her method of performing - mostly cabaret - and delivery. Since Alex often centers her acts on personalities as she earlier did here in her Peggy Lee and Edith Piaf performances, she adds the extra dimension of slipping into another woman's skin. This she does with uncanny precision in her Saturday performance featuring Mae West, Sophie Tucker and Fanny Brice. There's no mistaking one for the other! Alex helps the image on by giving a brief biography of each of the famed sex goddesses in the milieu of their time, the early part of the 20th
century, on up into the 1950s and '60s.
Alex Ryer's big, bad, bawdy broads are boffo!
