Cabaret Scenes Magazine Les Traub
“Rebecca Spencer’s powerful soprano and her unique accompaniment by Musical Director Philip Fortenberry, combined with an imaginative selection of songs and stunning vocal performance, resulted in a joyous musical experience. The entertaining patter about her association with the songs and her musical theater career provided just the right personal touch to the evening. This was her L.A. solo cabaret debut, and a wonderful start it was.”

“Spencer's signature has become unique arrangements that fuse both classical and contemporary expressions of the art song, along with the romantic American Songbook, Broadway, film and popular music. Spencer is a vital actress/woman who lives through the music one beat at a time, in the moment, infusing every lyric with deep feeling. Like any good actress, she loves what she does and sprinkles, like magic dust, the fruits of that aura over everyone around her. What a classy and joyful performer—relaxed, personal, gracious and highly spirited! Rebecca Spencer stands out as a quiet diva, a classy and down to earth mother, who is bound to leave her lasting mark on LA just as she has everywhere else. She's remarkably adept in every way, elegantly stunning...a truly unique artist on the cabaret scene.”
