Liberace and Liza – A Tribute coming to NCRD Nov 1st 7:00 p.m. New York City, San Francisco, and now they can add Nehalem to their resume! Several NCRD patrons have exclaimed excitedly when they heard of this show – “Best show we have ever seen!” The SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE called it: “Surreal- yet oddly perfect!”. Ok, it is a little unusual, since Liberace and Liza Minelli never actually performed together. BUT- this show imagines what it might have been like! It combines tribute, improv, virtuosic piano playing, powerhouse vocals, and comedy. Like Liberace, David Saffert is a classically trained pianist from Wisconsin. Working sans sequins he has performed with the Oregon Symphony, Oregon Ballet Theatre, Portland Opera, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and the Schnitzer. He also appeared in two tv episodes filmed at the Liberace Mansion in Las Vegas. Jillian Snow, from NYC, is a powerful vocalist and sketch comedian who has cracked up crowds at the Laugh Factory, Gotham Comedy Club, 54 Below, Feinstein’s at the Nikko, and Portland Center Stage. Jillian was also involved in the U.S. premiere of “Liza, Liza, Liza’ and co-writing “Troll 2 The Musical” with her Emmy award-winning sister Jade.
