What our audiences are saying:

"It's been a long time since I've laughed out loud like I did that night The best evening I've had in a long time." Elaine Overholt, producer, vocal coach for film/tv/stage.

"The audience was taken on a tightly woven musical journey that was as enchanting as it was accomplished." Brenda Heatherington, artistic director

"I was delighted to discover that, after so many years of both attending and creating musical theatre and cabaret, I can still be so deeply moved and utterly entertained by these two impressively talented performers." Leslie Arden, composer.

"Mabel Mercer is considered the greatest of all cabaret singers. Her greatest gift: every time she sang, she told us the piercing truth - good and bad - about love. Susan possesses the same kind of instinct for how to sell a song as Mercer did." David Ferry.
