Rizo reflects on stardom in hometown show

Tickets are selling fast for “Rizo In The Flesh,” a triumphant return to the stage from

internationally acclaimed cabaret star Amelia Zirin-Brown, set for Friday and Saturday, May 27 and 28, in Newport.

Presented by Pacific Dance Ensemble, this homecoming show for Newport-born Zirin-Brown promises a baptism of glitter to celebrate the end of COVID isolation.

Rizo performs live with a full band, singing many of her own songs, and favorites of others that helped her through the “Great Pause.” Rizo’s stage shows bring her powerhouse vocals together with seductive storytelling and wild audience experiments. 

Both shows will start at 7 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street

Tickets, ranging from $23 to 38 plus online fees, are available at coastarts.org.
