“The elegant Lisa Kantor took the stage at Don’t Tell Mama for an encore performance of her New York City cabaret debut with an intriguing program entitled SHADOWS…  Every moment of this beautifully themed and executed program shone.  Hopefully, Kantor won’t remain in the shadows for too long now.”

Lisa “swung, crooned and balladeered her way through the Great American Songbook as if born to it….  Her relaxed and comfortable on-stage presence enables us to just sit back and luxuriate in her silky alto and soft vibrato and her occasional well-placed jazz inflections that shimmered.”

“Lisa and her musicians wove together the story of our relationship (we are married 35 years), through both words and songs. The evening brought our friends together in a way that was very personal and special. We have hosted many parties, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Lisa’s customized cabaret for any special occasion!”
