With her startling feats of musical reincarnation, Tammy Lang, a.k.a. Tammy Faye Starlite, is creating a new kind of cabaret. Equally gifted as an actor and singer, Lang deep dives into the vaults of art-pop-rock-whatever and returns clutching buried treasures. In Nico: Underground—her bio-show, as we might call it, that weaves spiky monologues between songs—she brings back the late Velvet Underground icon in all of her fuzzed-out, deadpan glory. Nico was a woman committed to following her own rocky path. She stood for a bruising new vision of love and other letdowns. Now, thanks to Lang’s “remarkable—and howlingly funny—portrayal,” she stands before us once again during this “morbidly fascinating night of theater” (New York Times).
