Wonderful Hollywood storytelling that is based on true facts and told with excellent acting, earnest emotion, and captivating singing. What a fantastic import to the Hollywood Fringe Festival, all the way from Adelaide, Australia. Sometimes Fringe shows are hit-or-miss but this show had surprising depth and feeling and was tightly edited for simplicity and maximum impact - it was all "hit!" Fantastic!...

This play completely captures that 'noir' feel. You are taken back to a different era in Hollywood. At some point in the show, you forget the current time and are living in history. Brilliant and inspiring work!...
