Hana Fremont
Phylicia Fremont

Watching Hana Fremont and Phylicia Fremont (no relation) perform answers the question, “Where is the next Sutton Foster or Audra McDonald?” Hanna and Phylicia have talent and poise and a repertoire not commonly found among artists who have booked a cruise-ship entertainment. They are well supported by baritone Isaac Saunders and tenor Austin Stole. After opening with a cruise ship parody of “Comedy Tonight” (Stephen Sondheim), Saunders took the show to a funnier level with a parody of “Pennies from Heaven” (Johnny Burke/Arthur Johnston)—“Benny’s from Heaven” (Eddie Jefferson/Johnston).

Hana and Phylicia, who just met last August but sing like they are truly sisters, gave the audience the classic Garland/Streisand duet “Get Happy”/“Happy Days Are Here Again” (Harold Arlen/Ted Koehler; Milton Ager/Jack Yellen), every bit as thrilling as the original.

Hana offered “When He Sees Me” (Sara Bareilles) from Waitress and Phylicia soloed on “Home” from The Wiz, a perfect choice. Stole delivered a sensitive “It All Fades Away” (Jason Robert Brown) from Bridges of Madison County and joined Saunders on a lively arrangement of “She Loves Me” (Jerry Bock/Sheldon Harnick). He also performed “Caught in the Storm” (Benj Pasek and Justin Paul) before the quartet closed out the show with a medley of songs from Les Misérables.

Hana, who serves as the vocal captain, has a huge instrument and is currently working on a one-woman show inspired by Janis Joplin.

She and Phylicia are also plotting to create their own duo act which should be something to watch for.
