Tastefully Raunchy: An Evening with Sandy & Richard Riccardi

The Sonoma Arts Showcase will present Sandy and Richard Riccardi’s all-original all-comedy musical cabaret show, “Tastefully Raunchy,” to Andrews Hall of the Sonoma Community Center on Wednesday, July 22, at 7 p.m.

This extraordinarily talented duo, who have performed nationwide and have become youtube sensations, serve up a delightful evening of lampoons, jabs and jibes on a wide range of topics – politicians, TV evangelists, Broadway musical wannabes, sexual orientation, the Twitter explosion – for mature audiences.

Sandy, who spent 11 years performing in New York City as a member of The New York Gilbert And Sullivan Players, Westchester Broadway Theater, and Playwright’s Preview Productions, is a versatile singer and comedian. She received her Master of Music degree in vocal performance from Manhattan School of Music.

Sandy’s spouse, partner, musical director and accompanist, Richard, has accompanied the likes of Joel Grey, Tom Jones, Mel Torme, Diahann Carroll, and Wesla Whitfield, just to name a few; served as Assistant Conductor for the Broadway National Tour of “Annie” from 1981 to 1982; frequently plays with the “Skywalker” Symphony for major motion picture soundtracks and major video game productions; and has played with the San Francisco Symphony, San Francisco Opera, San Francisco Ballet, and The Lamplighters. Richard received his Master of Musical Arts degree in piano performance from Yale University School of Music in New Haven, Connecticut.

Tickets, at $20, are available only at the door.
