The New York Times“Mr. Mizrahi isn’t interested in evoking the misty-eyed nostalgia of swooning to the old songs while holding hands, sipping Champagne and shedding a tear. Like so many other alt.cabaret performers, he is determined to challenge the cultural status quo and help blaze a path into a more liberated future where few subjects are off-limits…
Vocally, Mr. Mizrahi belongs to a brassy show business tradition running from Ethel Merman to Harvey Fierstein and including Liza Minnelli, who in her prime, he observed, could make an entrance like nobody else.”
Vogue“Isaac Mizrahi’s Cabaret Act Is the Hottest Ticket at New York Fashion Week…he is first and foremost a tastemaker who isn’t afraid to be bold—while still displaying a hint of vulnerability”
TheaterMania“Mizrahi is the real deal when it comes to cabaret: He’s charming, he sounds great, and he is seriously funny.”
Theater Pizzazz“His ability to take an audience into his confidence is simple and unforced, even with the charged personality he brings to the stage.”
BroadwayWorld“Mizrahi’s jazzy performance was confident and sultry, a far cry from his self-deprecating stories. From start to finish, Mizrahi filled the room with both uncontained gaiety and a sense that we all share some of the same fundamental anxieties, even if it’s as seemingly banal as worrying about the side effects of prescription drugs. And, in a time when many are uncertain if we’re going to make it after all, is there anything more important than that?”
Metrosource“Mizrahi stage chat was delightfully uncensored on all manner of taboo subjects…when Mizrahi challenges himself, he has some impressively huge notes waiting to burst out.”
