As an homage to Miss Peggy Lee in her 90th birthday year, Lisa Picone celebrates the music and life of this incomparable performer, singing songs Lee wrote — “Manana,” “It’s A Good Day,” “He’s A Tramp” — and songs she made famous, like “Fever,” “Big Spender,” “Is That All There Is?”

Lisa Picone is a familiar face in the popular Running With Scissors theatre troupe and a Big Easy Award winning actress. This is her premiere solo cabaret show after graduating from the prestigious Yale Cabaret Conference.
