Saw this last night, and all I can say is that the published rave reviews she received were completely justified. This is a performer with wit and charm, completely comfortable in her own skin. She has a grand old time poking fun at herself. The club was packed, and the audience included her father, Martin Vidnovich, a former Tony nominee himself. The audience loved her.

My one disappointment was that she only did her one planned encore, even though everyone was yelling for more, and even though the show was only about 70 minutes long. What happened to the days of real encores? Last night would have been a perfect occasion for her to have gone off script, especially since she seemed to be having a wonderful time on stage singing to her dad.

Not off the top of my head, especially given my consumption of two martinis, but here is the link to Steven Holden's NYT review which lists most if not all.
