St. Louis - Cabaret Scenes

Lina Koutrakos: 2024 Darrell Henline Award Recipient

She is admired, respected, and loved.

Hilarious and poignant.

Their show played directly into the strengths of Ripley’s voice and vocal stylings.

A powerful high baritone that zooms up seamlessly into a supernatural falsetto and blitzkrieg charm.

Errico and Firth are masters of their craft just as Sondheim was of his. The combination was a match made in musical-theater heaven.

Few singers emote with her intelligence and lack of excessive ornamentation.

Unquestionably one of today’s very best jazz vocalists.

A warm and cuddly evening’s entertainment.

The sound quality and the syncing were especially good.

Her voice, which remains a strong instrument with an impressive range that served the material well.
