Two-time Tony-nominee (Bubbling Brown Sugar and High Rollers) and multi-award-winning singera/actress Vivian Reed is back with a brand new show: “An Evening with Vivian Reed: Standards and More”.
Vivian will present passionate and powerful vocal stylings in unique arrangements of some of her favorite songs from the past accompanied by a four-piece band.
One of those rares singers who can sing in several styles, she dedicates this show to some of the beloved classics that people have enjoyed down through the years, and also takes a few musical detours into less familiar territory. But all is delivered with the high energy Vivian Reed is known for.
Critics have said:
Vivian Reed, whose ferocious, accusatory rendition of “God Bless the Child” evoked the mature Lena Horne in her one-woman Broadway show more than three decades ago. --Stephen Holden, The New York Times, Oct. 15, 2015
Vivian Reed chose Lady Day’s mantra, "God Bless The Child,", for a stylized turn, owning the song, owning the stage, owning the audience. --Cabaret Scene, October 2015
Being in the audience just a few rows away from this mega force of vocal dramatics as she was belting out “Believe in Yourself” from The Wiz was almost surreal. --Parker Sargent, Theater Scene, July 2015
Based on the final standing ovation, the audience made it pretty clear they felt like the lucky ones who ran to see Vivian Reed when their day was through. --Stephen Hanks, Broadway World, Nov. 2013
54 Below was packed to the rafters. During the show Reed received more standing ovations than any other performer in cabaret I have ever seen! Joe Reagan, Theater Pizzazz, Nov. 2013
