World-class singing of incredible and rarely-heard music. Bethany reframes and reinvents the sublime music of Barbara Strozzi, threading it through her story. A truly creative and immersive experience.... full review

Angelic, gorgeous show- the singing, the writing, the playing of instruments- a truly beautiful show to behold. Also enjoyed learning about the 17th century woman composer and the connections with her family’s past - stories of women in her lineage. Just beautiful. ... full review

This show was masterfully woven and beautifully executed. Bethany’s voice and presence is equally angelic as is it grounded and ambitious. One voice embodies several important figures intertwined with Hill’s own life. Her own music and poetry are amplified by the work of a misunderstood 17th century musician. Hill’s reverberating desire of liberation reaches back in time to give gratitude, acknowledgment and creative nourishment to women who paved the way to her own artistry. ... full review

Absolutely engaging! To be introduced to such an amazing woman composer, Barbara Strozzi, from the 1600's by the gorgeous talents of Bethany Hill in the context of her stroy was pure entertainment. The composer was obviously gifted and enlightened; truly made me want to hear more of her music. Ms. Hill's vocals are clear and sweet, her personal story resonates and her musicianship is excellent. Educatonal & entertaining.... full review

Blown away. Bethany Hill’s performance is engaging from start to finish — vulnerable and beautiful. Up there on her own for 80 minutes that go by in a snap, playing multiple instruments (some I’d never before seen), looping live, her original songs and incredible voice, all while telling the autobiographical journey of how she left a life of shame behind and came to be here in front of us with all this skill and bravery. Staged and shaped elegantly by herself and director Alek Lev. A must see Fringe show that will hopefully have a full run of its own in the near future.... full review

A solo show that weaves in opera, instrument playing, and monologues to tell the stories of women across time. ... full review

Mesmerizing. ... full review

An intimate and emotionally moving piece with several truly breathtaking moments . . . the kind I go to the theater hoping to experience but rarely get. Soulful, innovative, masterful storytelling. A vulnerable baring of intergenerational scars done with grace and wry humor.... full review
