it will be
tomorrow, Laura Ainsworth finally answers back for wronged women
with the funniest revenge

devilishly

producer/jazz keyboard
genius Brian Piper, and bitingly witty lyrics by Amy Rigby and Bill
DeMain!

KEEP
YOUNG
&
BEAUTIFUL!
"A
Potential
Cult
Phenomenon!...A
dynamite revue…A merciless
spoof of modern America's fear of...aging" by satirical singer Laura
Ainsworth,
"whose Julie Andrews-style These
Are The Things That The Taliban
Banned
was one of the cleverest song parodies since the heyday of Tom Lehrer!"
--
Ft.
Worth Star Telegram
"Highly entertaining...A vivid
personality with a wonderful stage
presence...Ms Ainsworth is a quite accomplished
singer-comedienne. She wrings maximum doses of humor out of
every last wonderful lyric
that she has written..."
--
Joseph
Melnicoff,
BroadwayWorld.com "3-1/2 Stars...A
sophisticated
one-woman
show...Ainsworth's
act
is
a
hybrid,
as
she
is
a
fine
lounge
singer
with comic flair who delivers her songs in a beautiful, sultry voice
with
superb breath control...She tells the audience, 'If Julie Andrews and
Weird
Al Yankovic had a child, it would be me!'" -- TotalTheatre.com
COLE
PORTER:
ELEGANCE
&
DECADENCE
"Sublime!...Dazzling!...Top-notch
entertainers, inspired selection of songs...Miss Ainsworth is a fine
singer with an outstanding range
and genuine wit...(Michael Gott's) musical artistry added romance, wit,
and sophistication to the proceedings...It truly was magnificent
entertainment!"
--
BroadwayWorld.com
"An unqualified hit......Following the first encore, (the
audience was asked), 'Aren’t you glad you came?' The answer was a
resounding cheer... The performers recalled a time when popular music
was clever and witty and romantic and sexy and written for grownups."
-- Edward
Southerland,
Denison
Herald-Democrat
"Ainsworth
and Gott managed to
create an
atmosphere in the Studio that made us feel like we'd been transported
back to
Porter's time, enjoying masterful but not-too-fussy performances of
some of the
best songs in the American canon. It was a "De-Lovely" evening
indeed..." -- Mike
Orren,
