“How to describe Miss Lauderdale? A fine-featured Atlanta belle turned scandalous by New Orleans dixieland? A New York stage gypsy determined to scratch her way into the national limelight, one sculpted fingernail at a time? An accomplished vaudevillian who can turn any page from the songbook into a novelty number? All of the above? Lauderdale’s is the most theatrical cabaret act I’ve witnessed in Austin, replete with audience participation that would make Zach director Dave Steakley blush with envy. Let’s see, she set up a kissing booth, staged a toenail-painting session, shimmied with her mom and sis, and blasted “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” with an endearing clown in a kilt. Come to think of it, she’s like an early, less raunchy Bette Midler, caressed by class. Her material is shaded light blue - woman-proud, man-crazy, faintly campy. Lauderdale, you’ve got it.” –Michael Barnes, Austin360.com

“The fourteen-track album collapses breathy and brassy as she alternates between purring and belting. Lauderdale evokes Betty Boop’s mock innocence teamed with Julie London’s sweet tones, Marilyn Monroe’s seductiveness, and the Rat Pack’s swing bands. These are songs about pleasure and romance strung up along a common thread of tuneful innuendo. Much of its seductive nature carries over from her live performances, which are famous for their, um, visual appeal and crowd interaction. Tough to capture on audio CD, but this is as close as it gets. Blatant come-ons to the horn section help.” -Kira Matica, Austin.com

"Mandy Lauderdale might just be Austin's best lounge act. I am still plucking feathers out of my dinner jacket. :-) An accomplished vaudevillian, dazzling singer, and improvisational comedian, my table had the best time of the night I have no doubt. Mandy is a can't miss show." -Patrick Bennett, Artstrada Magazine

"The talented, gorgeous, sweet and incredibly fun Mandy Lauderdale has just released her first album. She’s been teasing the boys (and girls) for a few years now with her sassy old-meets-new-not-quite-burlesque-one-of-a-kind performances in Los Angeles, NYC and now Austin, Texas. Check her out or buy her album. Better yet, go to Austin and see her live. You’ll never forget it." -http://detangle.us

“Mandy sizzles. Period. Any show that starts out G-rated and ends up dancing the edge of R by the end is worth the trip. It starts as an unassuming but engaging cabaret show and then never stops escalating. You won't be able to anticipate where she's going until she is already there and moved on to the next song. Then you realize that almost all of the music is new and original, not just the same old jazz. I won't give anything away, so I'll just tease you with this: free cupcakes baked by the chanteuse herself, lingerie shower, a fishing rod, champagne, the sexiest jazz you’ve ever heard, LOTS of feathers, and a little man named Mister Stevens. Oh my.” –Curtis Mittong, review in The Austin Chronicle

"I ♥ Mandy Lauderdale. HOT, HOT, HOTTT!!!! And quite hilarious... I love how she takes little quiet, witty stabs here and there at anyone and everyone (deserving). You NEED to have her at your next party, get-together, Bible study-anywhere u want to be a little less lame & impress everyone. Listen up (especially u less blessed dudes reading "The Game" to get laid): Mandy is fiery, spicy, witty & delivers it all with an incredible voice & a *little extra.* So hire her already. Nobody forgets a Mandy experience. She's the world's greatest performer. It's just the truth--I am on a personal mission to make sure everyone gets their Mandy experience before she's so hot you can't get to her!! It's one of my community obligations, up there with mentoring at-risk youth, saving abused puppies and healthcare reform--a lil Laudy makes you smile, laugh and love and that all improves quality of life!! ;)" -Tiffany Harvey, Young Execs of Austin

"If James Bond and Johnny Cash tag-teamed Ann Margaret while Julie London did a strip tease for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band while Marilyn Monroe made out with Jessica Rabbit while Jerry Lee Lewis, Link Wray, and Fats Domino took pictures, this would be the soundtrack that played on the Victrola in the corner." -Mandy Lauderdale & James Salter, Singer & Producer

Craving some cabaret with plenty of steam to loosen your tie? Do you secretly revel in having your hair pulled while being showered with feathers? Let’s hope so cause you’re going to love what the cat dragged in. Straight out of Atlanta, meet Mandy Lauderdale, the fiery redhead who puts the cream in cabaret and the swank in swing. This Georgia peach has serenaded crowds coast to coast and recently made her home in Austin, TX. Lauderdale's shows completely obliterate the fourth wall, incorporating audience members as cameos, costars, and accomplices in every number. When the lights go down and the show heats up, the entertainer is as likely to be found in the audience having one of her spectators paint her toes as she is feeding her drummer homemade cupcakes while changing behind her privacy screen. Wherever she is, Mandy Lauderdale is certain to be reinvigorating the va va voom persona with her singular take on cabaret. Seductive, charming, and unpredictable, Mandy has perfected the formula with a voice that sizzles and a show that reminds us what a night out on the town is all about.
