Reviews! Stephen Holden; Rex Reed

"Some Treasures Found Over Harburg's Rainbow"
By Stephen Holden
"In Karen Oberlin’s tribute show “The Wizard of Words: Yip Harburg’s Songs of Wit and Wisdom,” at the Metropolitan Room, she skillfully balances the two sides of the lyricist E. Y. Harburg’s sensibility."

"Cabaret Babes"
By Rex Reed
"Ms. Oberlin and her pals, pianist Tedd Firth and bassist Sean Smith, provide a jazzy canvas for the Harburg catalog... Karen Oberlin is packing the joint from wall to wall."
