The program features an engaging mix of beloved Broadway standards, inventive pop interpretations, and original songs, highlighted by showstopping favorites.
“…the one-woman versatility of Rosemary Loar. She is an effervescent soprano, a seasoned theater performer, a jazz bird, vivacious, funny and likeable.” Elizabeth Ahlfors – Cabaret Scenes
“Since Broadway can’t seem to keep talents of this magnitude occupied, audiences starved for good music and solid entertainment can be grateful that jazz and Rosemary Loar have found one another.” – New York Post
