Absorbing, Great Singing, Great Staging, Resonant, Thought-Provoking

See it if you want a perfect jukebox musical with a difference - wrapped in amongst the songs is a woman in a 'man's' industry and challenging issues

Don’t see it if you just want to see Beverley Knight - I've seen the UK tour version - Carly Mercedes Dyer is wonderful in the title role
