Forget-Me-Not 4 out of 5 stars

Brighton Fringe Festival, Parlure Spiegeltent,UK

"When I walked in, I just caught the introduction made by the pianist to bring Forget Me Not on (played by the wonderful Sharon Elizabeth). He was gentle and quietly spoken, but had a certain flare about him which drew my attention to the stage. Very simple but effective setting to indicate a glamourous changing room full of feather boas, a screen to change behind, a champagne bottle and glasses and lots of shawls elegantly displayed. This gave us the audience an indication of the sort of person we were going to see - and we weren't disappointed!"

"Sharon Elizabeth waltzed onto the stage and gave us an hour of sheer decadence and glamour as Helena, the real name of Forget Me Not, whose life has certainly been different, contraversial and exciting.

Her voice certainly lives up to its reputation as being one of the most sought after soprano singers in the world, but what made it so good was the fact she not only sung, but she acted throughout the songs as it became appropriate - especially if a comedy number came up! She captures the spirit of the era of the 1920's and made us believe we were actually there."

"All the songs and dialogue were linked really smoothly and the ride we were taken on was certainly one to remember."

Forget-Me-Not

Brighton Fringe Festival, Parlure spiegeltent,UK

If you're looking for a show in a charming venue with clever and catchy songs performed by a hugely talented cabaret star, 'Forget Me Not' will definitely not disappoint. The roaring twenties become real once more with Sharon Elizabeth giving a heart-warming performance as a feisty ex-flapper who plays with the audience in true cabaret style. Once invited on her journey into the past, I found myself thoroughly entertained as she reminisced about various past conquests, each of which provided the opportunity for a racy or rueful number. Though the tales told could have been slightly more imaginative, it is certainly worth watching, if only to listen to the actress's beautiful voice.

“The wind was whistling down the tunnel at the Medici Court last night, knocking over props, ruffling the feathers of the decorative boas, and fluttering the star’s full skirt to almost improper levels. But Sharon Elizabeth, pure soprano, comic, chocolate-cake baker and ultimate multi-tasking woman, kept her composure and treated her audience to a slap-up feast of music, comedy and cooking.”
 “You really have to see this to get a feel for the Elizabeth experience: She’s got a fine voice, an excellent sense of humour, and she works the crowd in the same deft way she stirs her chocolate batter” “And the cake is to die for”

“A multi-tasking mother with a sublime voice and a passion for chocolate cake took Pauanui by storm”
“Tales about her child hood, falling in love and growing fat from eating too much chocolate cake giving the show its humour and honest, heart-warming feel”
“A show that has proved to be a recipe to success”
