Cabaret audiences last saw Lisitza featured as Alice, the Special-K addict in "That's My New York!" at JUDY'S CHELSEA.

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" with Tommy Femia.
