Description

Anna Vanosi’s soulful voice transports you from jazz (Billie Holiday, Doris Day) to pop (Bob Dylan, Björk) tracing a comical, poignant path, as she feels out of step with time. Maybe she’s not alone? Join this inspirational late-bloomers' adventure. 'Eccentric, adorable, enchanting. A real life Italian diva' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'A beautiful melody of optimism and acceptance... eloquently poetic monologues and fantastical musical numbers' (The Student Newspaper). 'We ride the emotional trail, hanging onto every word and song, and what a voice to savour: beautifully crafted entertainment' (InternationalTimes.it).

Amazing vocals, great story telling, humorous chats and powerful messages. Great connection to the audience throughout - such a shame it's finished!

Anna blew me away today. Her ability to tell a story nd engage with the audience is incredible. Mixed in with a phenomenal singing voice and amazing piano and bass accompaniment that had me mesmerised in my seat. A truly heartfelt story and beautiful music made it one of the best hours I have spent at all of the festival.
I really cannot overstate how much I enjoyed and recommend this show, and Anna, if you read this, thank you so mich for an amazing night :)

Anna is incredibly charming and magnetic on the stage. She has a wonderfully unique way of immersing the audience in her vignettes, which are conveyed through both monologues and songs. Her voice is accompanied by two amazing jazz musicians, whose musical brilliance really take Anna's storytelling to another level.

Anna delivers a mesmerising performance from start to finish!
She has a magical ability to take you on a journey through her past with each destination packed with earthly humour and beautifully poetic stories. The eclectic mix of songs is also met with angelic and heartfelt tones. A really thought provoking and must see show, can’t recommend it enough!

What a lovely performance from Anna, who takes us on an engaging and well-crafted journey, accompanied by wonderful musicians. Thoroughly recommended as an hour of charming autobiographical theatre, with fabulous singing, in the perfect surroundings of the Jazz Bar.
