‘This
one-woman show is a triumph for Camille O’Sullivan who plays the title
character. …O’Sullivan shows she’s not just a fantastic singer, but a skilful
actor too, she knows when to involve the audience, and when to reinstate the
theatrical fourth wall, inviting us to rethink our attitudes to both theatre
and cabaret.’
Patrick Lonergan- THE IRISH TIMES
‘…To
say that the show depends on the charms of actress Camille O’Sullivan is an
understatement. The half French, the half Irish performer is a delightful
entertainer and uses her many skills to capture the attention of the audience.
Although her first loyalty is to music and songs, O’Sullivan is well able to
play a part and shows the ability here to portray the range of emotions
associated with the enforced leaving of Vienna, as well as confusion at her
later years return.
As
a performer, O’Sullivan also has a compelling physical beauty – enough to
convince us she really is Lola Blau, former icon of the musical stage.’
