She blends fast-paced comedy smoothly with a great selection of songs so that it’s hard to know which you’d rather she did (but she never makes you wait too long for either).”
Broadway World: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4)
“The American soprano Steph DePrez, currently living in Berlin, is a rare breed: a Wagner-singing comedian. Her show is a masterclass in blending genres, as she effortlessly weaves her vocal talents with sharp wit and hilarious storytelling. The essence of DePrez’s performance lies in genuine connection – whether through a soaring aria or a perfectly timed punchline.”
