The Green Room 42: "Introducing: Me"

"With her gorgeous and wide-ranging voice, her perfect enunciation, and her charming personality, she established herself as a force to be reckoned with within the New York cabaret community. As much of a cliche as it is, a star was born."

"Among the numbers she delivered in her rich, multi-shaded voice were Adele's "All I Ask", the bluesy "Love Will Come and Find Me Again" from Bandstand, and the Ike and Tina Turner classic "River Deep - Mountain High". Each presented with passion and the confidence of knowing just where to place her voice and a knowledge of where her thrilling money notes were. Other highlights were ... "Heartless" from The Prince of Egypt (imbued with so much genuine emotion), and "Raven" from the musical Brooklyn. She even performed a song in French from Notre Dame de Paris in her usual electrifying style"

"Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theatre, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world."
