Bazazz! A Sequined Variety starring Rick Skye as Liza Minnelli will have a special New Year’s Eve performance of the hit show of which In New York magazine said, “There’s a new sequined variety show in town that is a must see!”

The show features Skye’s impersonation as Liza Minnelli for which he won the 2017 MAC Award for Best Impersonation, special guests and the Kit Kat Boyz. Skye, who sings in his own voice, also writes all of the original material and Bistro Awards said, “Skye’s parody lyrics are literate and clever” while also saying, “The show is lively, varied, and comfortingly nostalgic.”

Bazazz! A Sequined Variety opened in October to a sold-out audience and the media is buzzing.

New York Social Diary said, “Rick Skye is the host with the most! Skye’s impersonation of Minnelli is sensitive, boisterous and moving although ‘impersonation’ is too banal a word for his affectionate, on-target work.”

Theater Pizzazz said, “Rick Skye has returned to Don’t Tell Mama’s and Manhattan is a better place for it.”

Nitelife Exchange said, “Get ready, get set, GO to Bazazz! A Sequined Variety.”
