Plain Language Description

Elena Porter has one of the most powerful and moving voices in Edmonton Musical Theatre. In this modern cabaret show, she shares stories from the past ten years of her life—the happy times and the hard ones—and how music helped her get through it all. This emotional show is full of beautiful slow songs and fun, fast ones. She’s joined by Steven Greenfield on piano. He’s the music director behind big shows like Frozen and A Christmas Carol at the Citadel Theatre. Life can surprise us. One moment brings joy, the next brings heartbreak. We don’t get to choose which comes first.
