The Songs of Joni Mitchell & Leonard Cohen starring the Outstanding Cabaret Performer of the Year: Lauren Fox

The affair of Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen in the late 1960s only lasted a few months, but its resonance in the songs of these two iconic singer-songwriters is far reaching. This intimate, dramatic and sultry show is performed to perfection by the hottest star on New York City’s cabaret scene today — as Lauren Fox and her trio perform 16 songs — 9 by Joni Mitchell and 7 by Leonard Cohen — into a spellbinding his-and-hers dialogue that brings new depth to Joni’s and Leonard’s body of work.  Who is Lauren Fox?  The  Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs’ Female Debut Artist of the Year 2012.  Debut Artist of the Year at the 27th annual Bistro Awards. The opening act at the Mabel Mercer Foundation’s Cabaret Convention at Lincoln Center, where The New York Times said that hers was “the most transfixing performance of the evening”.  And the winner of the 11th annual Nightlife Award for “Outstanding Cabaret Performance” of the year in 2012.  She is a  genius talent who has been called “Brilliant” “Spell-binding”  “Remarkable” and Enthralling” by Stephen Holden, the pre-eminent music critic of The New York Times.
