★★★★★ “A masterful performance… the best piece of theatre this Fringe” (Kryztoff.com)
★★★★½ “[Hartstone’s] performance is outstanding” (Adelaide Theatre Guide)
“A one of a kind show… Hartstone’s contralto vocals make you think of a young Judy Garland” (Broadway World)
★★★★ “A play about the typical quest for fame countless people have over the decades. Some may have heard whispers of past movie scandals, which this show deliciously serves up… Filled with a smattering of gossip of fallen idols and dubious industry practices, it’s hardly a rosy picture of L.A.’s most famous allure. But within them hide morality tales of wanting something so desperately that it ultimately can destroy you” (Glam Adelaide)
“Be magically transported into Hartstone’s faraway world of Hollywood at its ruthless fairy-story height” (Barefoot Review)
“Hartstone commands the attention of her audience throughout the nostalgic performance” (bcausearts.com)
“Hartstone is endearing… She manoeuvres the stage well, nails the old Hollywood sound and transports us to MGM sets and producer meetings” (The Advertiser/AdelaideNow)
“Hartstone is a talented actor, who also has a decent set of lungs, as the show is littered with songs like a classic MGM musical” (The Adelaide Review)
