“Originality is a given for any Nellie McKay show. She is a truly unique cabaret performer—a gifted singer, songwriter, actress, musician and satirist.” — Cabaret Scenes
“One of the Best Concerts of 2014…this singer and pianist put on A Girl Named Bill, a revue-with-dialogue about Billy Tipton, the little-known mid-century jazz bandleader, who was assumed to be a man but was discovered at his death to be a woman. Under deceptively ragged humor and a wildly broad repertory illuminating various angles of the story — by Jelly Roll Morton, Yoko Ono, Cindy Walker and Ms. McKay herself — lay a devastating theme: how, and why, to live with secrets.” — The New York Times
