      Voices of the South's "J&K;Self-Rising Cabaret," starring well-loved Memphis performers Jenny Madden and Kim Justis, feels less like an evening of theater and more like a fun night at a friend's place. The show plays out like a long conversation, following currents of thought that lead to jokes, songs, and heartfelt reminiscences. The two performers have a charming, easygoing chemistry that makes them great fun to watch. There's plenty of ham and cheese built into the show's gags, but the ladies (under the direction of VOTS Artistic Director Jerre Dye) are smart enough to deliver the real groaners with a knowing wink. Both performers have strong singing voices, and the songs they've chosen run the gamut from standards to unfamiliar gems, including a few you couldn't possibly have heard before (Ms. Justis's own "Dirty Whore Blues"). Throughout, J&K;are backed by a tight, energetic quartet that sounds great without ever overpowering the small space. Ostensibly, the show centers on what it means to be a woman in the "New South," but the answers aren't nearly as important as the discussion. Like perfect Southern hostesses, Jenny and Kim go to great lengths to keep you feeling welcome and entertained, all without seeming to break a sweat. Oh, and of course they feed you, too. Collapse
