“Laurie Wells as Donna has a genuine charisma, and really anchors the show as a concerned mother. It’s a fully realized portrayal middle-aged woman who hasn’t forgotten the energy - and pain - of youth. She sings "Slipping through my fingers" to her daughter with genuine poignancy.”

“Laurie Wells has everything a musical comedy lead needs - looks, comic timing and a great voice.”
