In this one-woman show, singer and actress, Bernadette Robinson plays five ordinary women and five iconic singers, Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf and Maria Callas. Each "nobody" recounts an intimate tale of how her life was transformed by an encounter with one of the icons. With phenomenal control of tone and accent, Robinson seamlessly brings to life each "nobody" and each legendary singer. Her voice shifts from the smoky blues of Billie Holiday to the thrilling soprano of Maria Callas, via Garland, Cline and Piaf, with consummate ease. Barry Humphries describes it as "a spellbinder".
