What They Say About

Lisa Jo Sagolla

Bistro Awards


"Kittredge possesses a beautiful, evocative instrument, and hearing her sing is pure pleasure in itself. Yet in this aptly titled 13-track album, she puts her voice to use radically reimagining familiar pop tunes and songs from Broadway shows and films, with astounding novelty and courage. In some cases, she jolts the ear with nervy alterations of a song’s musical details. Other times, she proffers shocking conceptual surprises that will have you gasping gleefully. And more often than not, she takes a song you adore and tackles it in a manner that makes you like it even more. "

"Imagine: you're a musical theater actress with a penchant for storytelling… with a real knack for making even the tiniest answer to the question "How was your day?" into a voyage of purest wonder. Imagine: you go into cabaret and you win the industry's top prize for your debut show...It looks like Ann Kittredge's imagination is one that is in perpetual motion.

reIMAGINE is a thirteen-song, forty-three minute exploration into music so varied…and Ann Kittredge has done right by her composers and by her craft by seeing to it that each and every one of those thirteen stories is treated with the respect it deserves, the respect best created by an artist with an investment in storytelling."

John Hoglund

Cabaret Scenes


"With her impressive lyric soprano voice, Kittredge brings established songs to life with subtle nuances and intelligent phrasing that sparkles...She recalls the evergreen “Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life” from Naughty Marietta. This gem, made famous on film in 1935 by Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy, is here wistfully sung with brio as if it were on today’s hit parade...Kittredge lures the listener in as she warmly weaves the romantic narrative. That is her strength, and it is repeated throughout the disc."
