City, State: New York, NY Comments: I have performed at The Iguana now 3 times.....and every night has been AMAZING! Richard Skipper and Dana Lorge are not only insanely talented and great with the crowds, but loving, caring and respect the performers they bring to sing there. Richard asked me to sing their "night before New Year's Eve show" and I cannot tell you what a great time I had. The talent they had assembled was extraordinary and we all had this amazing champagne toast at the end of the evening. If you want to see great talent, great hosts, have great food and drink for a very, very low price....go to The Iguana on Wednesday nights!

City, State: NYC Website: http://www.jennaesposito.com/ Comments: On Wednesday evening, I headed over to the Iguana for the weekly singers' showcase, aptly named Wednesday Night at the Iguana! Hosted by Richard Skipper and Dana Lorge, this weekly event has attracted a great following of performers and non-performers alike, and each week features 5 or 6 "featured performers," each of whom performs a 3-song set. The rest of the slots in the three hour show are filled in by pre-planned special guests (who perform one song each) and, if time allows, other singers from the audience, whose names are randomly drawn out of a hat! Part variety show, part showcase, part open mic, the show is never the same twice! This week's "featured performers" were Kelly Esposito-Broelmann (my sister!), Marya Zimmet, Travis Moser, J. Michael Reeds, and Jack Di Monte. Each of them did a terrific job, and it was a really special treat for me to watch my sister performing! I also very much enjoyed husband-and-wife team David Alpher and Jennie Litt, who performed one of David's original tunes, "Two Apples," an enchanting song which tells the story of two apples growing up together on the same branch of a tree! Richard Skipper and Dana Lorge were fabulous hosts, and Barry Levitt and John Miller (on piano and bass, respectively) did a great job of backing up the various guests. Overall, a quite enjoyable night! The Cabaret Chronicles, Broadwayworld.com Jenna Esposito
City, State: Riverdale, NY Comments: Richard, this was my 2nd time there and I was not disappointed. Yet another fun evening with the both of you and great talent. Your energy is endless and you are so kind to everyone - performers AND audience. Thanks for giving so much of yourself: energy, talent, and humor. I'll be back!
City, State: NYC Comments: Richard -- my friend, Laura & I had a truly marvelous time at your "house party" -- you & Dana are wonderful hosts on stage & off-- your event is the perfect "upbeat" antidote to the world outside, including the sadness that some of us feel this time of year. and, as wonderful as some of your performers are, the audience is equally wonderful.
