MY
SHIP HAS SAILED
"A
Potential
Cult
Phenomenon! A dynamite revue…A merciless
spoof of modern America's fear of...aging" by satirical singer Laura
Ainsworth,
"whose Julie Andrews-style These Are The Things That The Taliban
Banned
was one of the cleverest song parodies since the heyday of Tom Lehrer!"
-- Ft.
Worth Star Telegram
"Highly entertaining...A vivid
personality with a wonderful stage
presence...Ms Ainsworth is a quite accomplished
singer-comedienne. She wrings maximum doses of humor out of
every last wonderful lyric
that she has written..."
-- Joseph
Melnicoff, BroadwayWorld.com "3-1/2 Stars...A
sophisticated
one-woman show...Ainsworth's act is a hybrid, as she is a fine lounge
singer
with comic flair who delivers her songs in a beautiful, sultry voice
with
superb breath control...She tells the audience, 'If Julie Andrews and
Weird
Al Yankovic had a child, it would be me!'" -- TotalTheatre.com
COLE PORTER: ELEGANCE & DECADENCE
"Sublime!...Dazzling!...Top-notch
entertainers, inspired selection of songs...Miss Ainsworth is a fine
singer with an outstanding range
and genuine wit...(Michael Gott's) musical artistry added romance, wit,
and sophistication to the proceedings...It truly was magnificent
entertainment!"
-- BroadwayWorld.com
"An unqualified hit......Following the first encore, (the
audience was asked), 'Aren’t you glad you came?' The answer was a
resounding cheer... The performers recalled a time when popular music
was clever and witty and romantic and sexy and written for grownups."
-- Edward
Southerland, Denison Herald-Democrat
