OUTscene: Highlights of Phoenicia and Vic's 22nd Anniversary!

Seattle's perennial favorite musi-comedy duo PHOENICIA & VIC are back by popular demand with a 22nd Anniversary Show for the 21st Century!!!!....Original Songs included "It's Christmastime!!!" "Fruitcake Blues" "Christmas In the Bahamas" "Alone on New Years Eve"...."It's Phoenicia!" and the now-classic "Born In A Tent"...plus some twisted versions of your Holiday faves.

When I attended their closing performance this past Monday, they also featured some special guests including the Hysterical, Cherdonna (Without Lew) and the gorgeous rising star, Paris Original (Think Ballet meets Burlesque) dressed as a female ballerina to taking it all off to only a g-string! Speaking of Phoenicia and Vic, this was the first time I have ever seen Phoenicia (Wade Madsen)  and was quite entertained. Vic (Victor Janusz) and I go way back and his real talent is taking popular songs and adding to new lyrics that are both funny and make sense. It is also a treat to hear Seattle's resident piano man take center stage and sing.

I had heard that Phoenicia and Vic was Seattle's version of NY Cabaret stars, Kiki and Herb, but in my humble opinion,  Phoenicia and Vic were better than anything I have (dare if I say it) heard from Kiki and Herb and that is what makes them still a class act after all these years. Also noteworthy was spotting Divas Arnaldo! and Aleksa Manila in attendance.
