This was pretty excellent. The story/dialogue was colorful and often funny but the real attraction was the music. Liz Eldridge and Clara Dykstra both impressed me as singers and multi-instrumentalists (there's no backing band, it's just the two of them playing onstage throughout). Every musical number was memorable and well-arranged, and they were well-paced throughout the show. Definitely worth seeing. ...

This show is TIGHT. What lovely voices and smart lyrics. Clara Dyksyra is the bomb. I want an Annabelle spin off where she carries in her Mother's "business" and since she's mute Mom has to come back from the dead to tell the tale. ...

Banjos, accordions and murderous spurned women. What more could you want? Oh, how about a show in a bar with whiskey as a star. Yes Everybody Loves Lydia Trueblood....

I Laughed, I cried! It was great, music was very clever and witty! Liz Eldridge kept me hooked. She transformed into Lydia Trueblood and put on a great show until the very last minute. And her trusty side kick Clara Dykstra cracked me up with the best facial expressions! I can't wait until the next performance!...

There's nothing else like Lydia Trueblood! I adored this show- funny, sweet and macabre, Liz Eldridge and Clara Dykstra's musical talents are out of this world. Must see....

Walk into the saloon, have the barkeep pour your whisky, settle back in your seat, and let this woman sing you her ballads about how she's not really the meanest, toughest killer of the early 1900s. If it had been twice as long it would have been twice as good. Talk about talent....
