Penny Orloff… assured and excellent in every way.

New York Times

This funny, multi-faceted story of one woman’s journey

through Showbiz entrances from its first word to the last.

Seattle Fringe Review

Ravishingly descriptive and continuously entertaining...

incredible warmth, wit, charm... Brilliant!

Bellevue Post Intelligencer

…a sweet and charming presence, narrating the story

while acting an assortment of characters... her self-

effacing humor is enjoyable and authentic. She sings in a

soft, legit soprano …Penny Orloff is so darn likeable!
