Elena Yakovlevna Vorobey - Honored Artist, Singer and Parodist. Today everyone knows and loves her.
Elena Vorobey, whose biography is full of creative discoveries, falls and successes, overcoming all the difficulties of fate, proved to herself and everyone that a simple "serf girl" (as she called herself) can reach such heights that she could only dream of in childhood.
Childhood
Elena Vorobey was born on June 5, 1967 in Brest. Few people know that the artist performs under a pseudonym, her real name is Lebenbaum. Why is this fact little known to the viewer? Due to the fact that Jews were not particularly favored in the USSR, Elena had to come up with the pseudonym “Sparrow”. The father of our heroine - Yakov Movshevich Lebenbaum - worked as a locksmith in ZhEK, and his mother, Nina Lvovna Lebenbaum, worked as an installer and seamstress. Despite her hooligan character, Elena studied well and attended classes at a music school. The girl’s parents predicted her the role of a music teacher. After Elena graduated from the eighth grade, her mother and dad contributed to the fact that she began to study at the Brest College of Music, although the girl herself did not part with the dream of becoming a clown. While still in school, she began to parody teachers, which delighted her classmates.
First steps to success
After graduating from music school, Elena decides to enter Leningradsky.
Theater Institute, but to no avail. However, difficulties do not stop our heroine. And only two years later (in 1988) she managed to enter the institute on the course of Isaac Stockbant's skill. At the
entrance exams, the selection committee determined the girl's complete lack of voice. While still a student, Elena began working at the Buff Theater. Her acquaintance with the famous
Yuri Galtsev and
Gennady Vetrov took place there.First victories and obstacles
In 1992, Elena Vorobey decided to prove herself at the A. Mironov acting song contest . With a clown hat on her head and an old bag in her hands, the future star appeared in court before the audience and the jury. The commission not only did not approve of her speech, but was also very indignant at him. But the audience, on the contrary, greeted Elena very warmly, and the girl was awarded the audience prize. In 1993, at the Yalta-Moscow-Transit contest, Elena, with pigtails on her head, in a school uniform and a sandwich in her hand, showed all her acting and vocal skills, for which she received the Grand Prix, as well as an audience prize. The rewards did not end there
The first channel also noted Elena’s talent, handing her the Grand Prix and the Audience Award. Despite this, in order to develop and move on, financial investments were necessary, which Elena did not have. Therefore, after the contest, she again returned to St. Petersburg, to the comedy theater "Buff".

After performing with Vetrov and Galtsev in the concert program “Levchik and Vovchik 30 years later”, Dostman noticed Elena and suggested that he sign a contract. Our heroine gladly agreed.

The acquaintance happened when a man came to the Elena Vorobey Theater to work as a sound engineer. At first, the star did not react to a new employee. But after one of the concerts, when the whole team went to celebrate success at the karaoke bar, everything changed. As it turned out, Alexander has a good voice, and a parodist is quite good. They even got their own joint number. But the fact that Alexander was married was a hindrance to being together. After a short time, he still divorced his wife, and the couple began to live together.
