“The songs are cheerfully and expertly delivered, the impersonations are loving and lived-in, and Saffert and Snow have such a chemistry that their comic banter shines as brightly as their glittering outfits.”

JILLIAN SNOW
as Liza Minnelli

JILLIAN SNOW, a singer and comedian, embarked on her journey in the vibrant city of New York. Performing primarily in comedy, she entertained audiences at esteemed venues like the Gotham Comedy Club, the Laugh Factory, and Comix NYC with her unforgettable portrayal of Liza Minnelli. Michael Musto from the Village Voice featured Snow in an article that remarked, “This could open up Minnelli to a whole new audience!” Her passion for embodying her idols led her to exciting opportunities, including portraying Janis Joplin in the Off-Broadway production "27 Heaven" and catching the eye of "America’s Got Talent" scouts.

After years of donning various wigs, Jillian sought solace in Portland, Oregon, where she found new creative avenues. Noteworthy accomplishments include her involvement in the U.S. premiere of ‘Liza, Liza, Liza’, and composing/co-writing ‘Troll 2 the Musical’ with her Emmy award-winning sister, Jade. Through these ventures, she eventually crossed paths with her creative kindred spirit, David Saffert, with whom she co-founded In Sequins Productions and helped create the acclaimed show ‘Liberace and Liza: A Tribute.’

Jillian treasures her performances at prestigious venues such as 54 Below (NY), Feinstein’s at the Nikko (CA), Feinstein’s at Hotel Carmichael (IN), Alberta Rose Theatre (OR), Portland Center Stage (OR), and Broadway Rose Theatre (OR), where she continues to shine alongside her creative partner, David Saffert.
