One powerhouse woman inhabiting another... It takes a certain talent to successfully embody a diva! Shelly's Jenny Lind is warm, strong, courageous, and a beautiful mix of historical accuracy with modern flair. ...

A gorgeously performed operatic show that also includes lesser known history about PT Barnum and his treatment of people. This is a show that really puts you into a moment in time that we sometimes forget about, shining light on an unsung hero. Beautifully told with incredible singing this is a spectacular solo show!...

As in her prior show about Maria Callas, Shelley Cooper proves to be a talented interpreter of artistic personalities. In this show we're treated to a whistlestop-tour autobiography of a 19th century mega-celebrity, an idealist who believed she was on a divine mission to help the world with her voice but who struggled in a hyper-commercialized US tour. A talented soprano in her own right, Cooper alternates narrative with operatic and art song excerpts, giving us a taste of what made Lind a smash success....

Fantastic! Shelley Cooper brings a pivotal moment in history to life for a modern audience. Her Jenny Lind is an adorable and conscientious mid-nineteenth century Swedish superstar struggling to use her celebrity responsibly in an America divided over racism and slavery. Cooper's singing is superb, making it easy for audiences to imagine Lind's star quality while also contrasting with her pious personality. And yes, we get the "girlboss" moments promised in the summary when Lind goes head to head with PT Barnum. See this show to meet the performing arts role model you should have learned about in school!...
