Part musical memoir. Part cabaret confessional. Part survival howl. Award-winning American vocalist Mychelle Colleary presents a genre-bending, jazz-laced cabaret on brain injury and broken systems. Dark, funny and sharply defiant, the show blends original songs with Sondheim, Chaplin and Strayhorn, performed to backing tracks in an intimate space with nowhere to hide. A raw, self-deprecating mix of storytelling, stunning vocals and hard-won self-awareness. 'Smart, sassy and entirely entertaining' (TheaterMania.com).
