“ ...Elliott’s was a one-woman show, but pianist Bill Costin added well-played and well-timed musical (and other sound) accompaniment, as well as being funny in his own right, and he provided some lovely harmonies in the vocal arena. The performance moved along quickly, with Elliott sharing both humorous and touching stories of her life, from her lack of success with internet dating – “47 coffee dates and I’m going broke” – to a longtime friend committing suicide, to a New Year’s Eve show at Vancouver’s Royal Hotel, hot yoga and more. Interspersed with the stories were many songs, several of which were original numbers, and they, too, ranged from the silly to the sentimental. It was a standing-ovation-garnering performance.”

“…didn’t see that coming (Performance Works) Beverly Elliott is one of the warmest and sunny performers. An accomplished actress and singer she explores her adventures in dating, getting older and celebrates her middle age body. In-between comedic stories staged by Kerry Sandomirsky she belts out songs accompanied by Bill Costin. Although funny and sometimes moving the stories are also a little random as they jump around the time line, and don’t culminate into any major theme. But the almost sold out crowd and I roared our approval and leapt to our feet in thanks for such and entertaining show. ”

“I reviewed Elliott when she did Lucille Starr at the Firehall and again with her band August at the Shadbolt a few years ago, and she's a terrific and versatile singer, as well as a funny stand-in comedian. In this fringe show, this beloved Vancouver actress sings and talks to a sold-out crowd about her life in a small town in Ontario where she worked in a gay bar, and other stories. She not only made us laugh, but also made us sad, particularly about her friend Frida who committed suicide. She's very charismatic and uses four-letter words despite the fact that there were children in her matinee performance last September 6th. But what the heck! It was a PG show and the kids came with their parents. She even went down to the audience and talked to us one by one, and when she came to me she said "Nice shirt". This is a must-see show but better get your tickets before the her show sells out. The Plank "didn’t see that coming" - An Experience You Can Relate To...
