www.insequinspdx.com JILLIAN SNOW HARRIS As Liza Minnelli
Jillian Snow Harris has thrilled audiences across the country with her spot-on impersonation of Liza Minnelli. After graduating from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City, the singer/actor/comedienne portrayed Liza in comedy clubs throughout New York before bringing her big voice home to Portland, OR, where she was featured in the US Premiere of Liza, Liza, Liza at Triangle! Productions. Now a regular performer at Tony Starlight’s Showroom, Harris delights audiences with a diverse repertoire of famous female voices, including Bernadette Peters, Eartha Kitt, and Judy Garland. While her sharp comic timing and exaggerated Liza quirks will have audiences doubled over in laughter, it’s when she starts belting out songs that it quickly becomes clear that her talent is no joke.
“Harris’s comic timing and Liza impression are spot on!” - Duluth News Tribune
