Christina Bianco — YouTube sensation and impressionist extraordinaire — has announced her final show in New York before moving across the pond to London. As she readies her luggage, her last show in the Big Apple is appropriately entitled “A Lot to Unpack,” which will be held on Friday, October 15 and Saturday, October 16, both at 8:30 p.m., at Birdland, located at 315 West 44th Street in New York City. All tickets are $30, and Bianco will be joined by special guests: vocalist Nicolas King and trumpet player Jeremy Miloszewicz. Brad Simmons serves as music director.
Bianco catapulted to fame with her diva impressions videos, where she sings popular songs like “Let it Go” and “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” singing a few lines as one famed chanteuse before transitioning deftly to another. Impersonated singers include Idina Menzel, Demi Lovallo, Adele, Cher, and others. Such viral fame has landed her performances on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and NBC’s “Today” in the United States, and “The Paul O’Grady Show” and “This Morning” in the United Kingdom. Her “impression reel” videos have garnered millions of views on YouTube.
