Chicago. These aren't your average singers—their superintelligent lyrics, awesome harmonies, and -imaginative parodies will
entertain from start to encore.

'AZT' (a combination of 'The Love You Save' and 'ABC'), and many more.
Among the dazzled critics are Michael Musto of the Village Voice ('Loved it!'), Liz Smith ('Get thyself to 'Dragapella!''), Billboard
Magazine ('One of the more uniquely original acts we have encountered'), The New York Times ('The hottest ticket in town'), and
Variety ('Inventive ... riotously funny ... sublime').
The Kinsey Sicks – Winnie (former Chicagoan Irwin Keller), Rachel (Ben Schatz), Trixie (Kevin Smith Kirkwood) and Trampolina
