Fountain Hills Theater is bringing back a couple of super stars.

Russo recreates an unforgettable evening of impersonation, bringing to life the songs of the two women. He will end the night singing a few songs as himself.
Russo presented the show at the theater in 2017. The first show sold out, with a second show added.
For tickets, visit fhtaz.org or call the theater, 480-837-9661, ext. 3.
Russo has played the mother-daughter team in the past, beginning with an accidental occasion to play Liza in Chicago.
At one event over a 10-year period, he helped raise more than $1 million performing a show called “Who’s that Girl?” in a 1,000 seat theater in Chicago. He impersonated Liza and Judy, as well as Pat Benatar, Madonna and Gloria Estefan in that show.
“Liza is my best, I think,” Russo said when he was interviewed before the 2017 show. “She is just a lot of fun to do.”
