Time Out New York Says:
Ali Levin gives the First Lady some much-needed razzle dazzle at this wild cabaret variety show. She'll go all out with songs, videos and sketches to sympathize with the Oval Office's most misunderstood character. Come for the White House shade, stay for Levin's go-for-broke performance. She's joined by pianist Paolo C. Perez and Jillian Green.
