Critics have described the show as “Sizzling!”, “Captivating” and “Top class cabaret”.
What the critics said:
Tonya Koenderman's svelte frame belies the diva-like magnitude of her voice which soars and subsides with enviable control as the vivacious songstress tackles serial thrillers by anyone from Minnelli to Tina Turner.
It takes some doing to get Capetonians to rise to their feet on a Tuesday evening , but this she did effortlessly... - Jeremy Dowson, Cape Times.
Tonya reaches new heights with this slick performance.
I've seen Tonya several times over the past six or seven years but have seldom seen her reach the heights she did here on opening night. -mIan Gray, Grahamstown Festival
"Top class cabaret from a consummate performer...her take on Tina Turner comes pretty close to the real thing." - The Herald Bob Eveleigh
