The band around cleopatra is amazing, and the performance will sure make you sing and dance. However, don’t expect to learn anything about Whitney’s life. A good and enjoyable musical tribute to a legend.

With the band firing on all cylinders and a storming performance by Cleopatra this was great. Whitney is an impossible talent to emulate but even on 'that' song Cleopatra comes close. This show I think is cut down for the Fringe and so is more of a tribute than a life story. However her story is well known to many. Packed with music, another success for Cleopatra (no sound mix issues!) and Night Owl.

Arts Reviews Edinburgh (5/5 stars) 107 days ago

Whatever the song, whether it be an upbeat dance classic that allows Cleopatra to get pretty much everyone in this audience out of their seats.
