Familiar songs like A House is Not a Home, The Look of Love and Son of a Preacher Man are made completely new thanks to skilled and soaring arrangements by renowned pianist and arranger Ron Abel.
Dobbs performs with “energetic assured joy... captivating.” (San Francisco Chronicle) all while having a racing brain and "a voice that can cause more damage to a roof than a Florida hurricane" (TheaterPizzazz).
