Reviews
“With ultimate vocal control, Watt draws us in before blowing us away with power and grit, balancing us perfectly in the palm of her hand. She’s vulnerable, sharing stories of love and heartbreak and delving into the material with maturity…Suitably awarded with a standing ovation, this show is for the Beatles fan, the jazz fan, the music fan… so that’s basically everyone covered then!”
— Hannah Homburg, The List UK, Sunday 23 February 2025
“She displayed incredible vocal control and power – truly unbelievable for someone who’s just turned 20. She gave us serious sultry saloon singer vibes with a hint of Adele huskiness. Divine.”
— Alana Kaye, Theatre Now, 17th March 2025

“Charlee Watt entranced me from the get-go, and the arrangements, many of which were co-labs between her and Goodwin, brought a texture to these songs that one suspects would delight the original authors.”
“The show then went from being very good to transcendent at times”
