One woman, eight Presidents, four decades of music.

Overview

The team behind the phenomenal stage play Songs for Nobodies are returning for a spiritual sequel. Written by playwright Joanna Murray-Smith specifically for singer and actress Bernadette Robinson, Pennsylvania Avenue showcases Robinson's masterful vocal ventriloquism, as she performs songs by Marilyn Monroe, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan and more. The show had its world premiere at the MTC in late 2014, and now makes its way to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre for a two-and-a-half week run.

Robinson stars as Harper Clements, a staffer in the White House Social Office in charge of booking musicians for Presidential functions. Its conceit is just an excuse to let Robinson dust off her vocal chords, delivering musical impressions so bang on the money you'd swear the actual stars were right there in the room.
