Overview

Created, written and performed by real-life sisters Lisa and Lori Brigantino, Vickie & Nickie have been entertaining audiences in New York, Brooklyn and various venues throughout New York State, to rave revues:

  • Jenna Esposito of Broadwayworld.com: "The talented Brigantino sisters put on a show unlike any other - their characters are complete, well-rounded, and immensely entertaining, and their musical talent is undeniable!"
  • Downtown Express: "The kitschy duo are not only funny character comediennes, but very talented musicians, each of them switching off on numerous different instruments over the course of a set.”
  • Music Connection Magazine: ”With thick accents and hammy presentation, they're half concert, half comedy performance art...Most notable is the duo's multi-instrumental proficiency...Anybody seeking a smile would do well [to see] this twisted pair. What they have is both unique and brimming with good-natured playfulness.”

Lisa and Lori Brigantino have been performing together musically since they were children. Lori (Vickie) is an actor, singer and multi-instrumentalist. Her acting credits include The Last Nickel at The NYC International Fringe Festival, Trials & Fibs Off-Broadway at The Soho Playhouse and several Off-Off Broadway plays and independent films. Lisa (Nickie) is an award-winning singer/songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist. Additionally, Lisa was an original member of the world’s first all-girl Led Zeppelin tribute band, Lez Zeppelin (bass, keyboards, mandolin), and toured internationally with the band. She left the band in 2009 to focus on her own original music.
