Conceived and created by Lorinda Lisitza and Hal Simons, "Songs in the Style of Weill" offers an innovative combination of long loved tradition as well as a fresh perspective on the artist's work that is sure to create an entirely new generation of Weill fans.

Lorinda Lisitza performed in the Off¨Broadway show "Berlin to Broadway with Kurt Weill" at Theater Ten Ten and The Triad. She was also named an "up and comer" by In Theater Magazine, and appeared in John Astor-Kaye's one woman musical, "Daddy's Girl." Cabaret audiences last saw Lisitza featured as Alice, the Special-K addict in "That's My New York!" at JUDY'S CHELSEA. Recently she has performed at the Neue Galerie, Symphony Spaces' "Wall to Wall Joni Mitchell," Town Hall in "Once and a Weill," and will be featured this spring at the Bam Cafe.

Hal Simons directed and choreographed the Off-Broadway production of "Berlin to Broadway with Kurt Weill" at Theater Ten Ten, and then helmed the move to The Triad. He also did the original choreography for Off-Broadway's "Tony and Tina's Wedding." Fans of cabaret may remember him in the MAC-nominated "The M.G.M. Society."
