ARTICLES and REVIEWS

THE ACT features a talented nine-member cast, but the show about a one-woman show really belongs to Paschal. She is on stage singing and dancing throughout the show. Paschal successfully embodies Garland and Minnelli’s styles on stage while adding her unique signature.

Peg (Paschal) was absolutely at her best in two slow very dreamy ballads, “There When I Need Him” and “My Own Space”. With these songs, Peg was able to display the richness and quality of her fine voice.

…while there are a lot of big musical numbers, this show has substance and a story to tell.
