Sarah was brilliant and John the most enthusiastic accompliment. We thoroughly enjoyed the show and were both impressed and amused by Sarah's delivery and professionalism. What great entertainment and value. As a woman of a certain age I totally identified with Sarah's words!
Great performance and the songs/music are superb. Only slight reservation was the vocal range - much more secure and also better suited to the cabaret style intimacy when in a somewhat lower register. Sarah's smart personality shines through big time!
