Vickie & Nickie's Holiday Sleigh Ride!

*Due to unforeseen circumstances, this performance has been cancelled.*

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:

• "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!" - Jenna Esposito of Broadwayworld.com
• "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.” - Downtown Express
• "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." - Music Connection Magazine

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. The sisters regularly perform Lisa's original songs at well known NYC music venues, regional clubs, coffeehouses, house concerts and festivals. They also sing in the vocal trio "In The Rough" with Susan Haefner, and often share the stage with Terre Roche, founding member of The Roches.
