Since 2005, Bree Benton has been performing as "Poor Baby Bree" - a Victorian-era character she developed after years of studying the golden age of vaudeville. Bree Benton's latest show starring her waif-like alter-ego, “I am Going to Run Away,” begins next month - she joins in the studio to give us a sneak peak.

I love it! Bree & Franklin, you guys are total delight. I can't wait to see this show.
tom-same right back at you,buddy.....
I'm not fond of using the word god, but that was God-awful. If there is a God, he should smite this woman and all who liked it...
proto urban white trash music...love it..!
Sounds like Mae West.
Ms. Benton sounds like Ruth Gordon!
The hat on the bed also figured in Drugstore Cowboy (1989)
I LOVE that accent, Bree- excellent job of recreating the "old NY" sound and the old style of singing.
SWEET!
