About Kevin, and on TV in New Amsterdam and Fringe. Her New York theater
credits include: Hillbilly Women, and GO-SEE, ArcLight Theater, and

with sold out shows, received critical acclaim, and will soon be available as a live CD.
Lauren is the 2012 recipient of the MAC and Bistro Award for Debut Artist.
"Ms. Fox, with her long straight hair and penetrating gaze, resembles a brunette version of the young Ms. Mitchell crossed with the actress Vera Farmiga. Her show strings together 16 songs — 9 by Ms. Mitchell and 7 by Mr. Cohen — into a spellbinding his-and-hers dialogue that conjures the charged erotic climate of the hippie culture of the Woodstock era, when sex was infused with romantic mysticism." -Stephen Holden, The New York Times
"...there is electricity in the air. It is thrilling to observe how accomplished she is, much in the way it always is when you discover talent and share the excitement over a performance that makes you want to tell everyone that they must see for themselves. Ms. Fox is indeed that rarity." -William Wolf, WolfEntertainmentGuide.com
"An exceptionally restrained Fox keeps gestures and expressions in check. Full attention turns...to communicating the deceptively simple lyrics. She is an actress." -Alix Cohen, Cabaret Scenes
”Lauren Fox is quite clearly a very talented actress and singer, but also a courageous artist committed to her own ideas of what she wants to express in a cabaret setting. And as a result, Lauren brought us all into a world we never expected to find at the Metropolitan Room—intimate, fascinating and magical." -Sandi Durell & Susan Hasho, Times Square Chronicles
