Karen is unbelievably talented. This show is funny and moving and entertaining from start to finish. Every song perfectly selected to punctuate her story. So relatable! What a fantastic performance! I hope Karen can continue to perform this beyond this festival. This show is for everyone- but as a woman of a certain age it absolutely hit home. Bravo!!!!...
