Free Music Notes for Sandra Bernhard: I'm Still Here Damn It! (1998 Solo Broadway Show)

Free Music Review: Outrageous, unforgettable fun
Hit: 5 Stars

Avid Sandra-watchers have observed the evolution of her theatrical persona from the hilariously degraded character she played in the Scorcese film "The King of Comedy" to her more recent, comparatively contented and confident incarnation. Naturally, Sandra continues to poke fun at New Age sophistries, yet her material reflects a new maturity and even moments of pure joy, as captured in her lovely song "God is Good", prompted by a recent, transformative visit to Morocco.

Always a master of ironic detachment from modern culture, which permits her familiar depraved juxtapositions of high- and low-brow material, Sandra asserts perhaps most strongly yet her very real avant-gardism. Staying a few steps ahead of the cynicism produced by the late 1990s decline of the supermodel, and of the designer grief prompted by the murder of Gianni Versace, Sandra is now healthily meta-ironic: ironic, that is, even about her use of irony.

Her singing voice has developed impressively, and her renditions of "Nightingale" and "Midnight Train to Georgia" are as lovely as her "tribute song" to Versace is utterly hilarious, particulary in its dance remix format.

If Sandra has a single fault, it is that she does not produce such a new show every year, given the ravenous appetite of her fans and her undoubted ability to toss off witty, literate monologues in the space of an hour. For all the laughter she produces, Sandra is a very serious artist.
