The Press Raves:
"The heat wave that swept through the area last week
may very well have been caused by Laura Theodore. Theodore
tore the place up with high-octane improvisations on many
well known tunes.... Her perfomance was not a series of impersonations
of the great ladies, but rather new nterpretations of the
songs made famous by her foremothers.”
--- Bill VanSant, Essex Journal
"Laura Theodore works her raunch and four octave
range on a rendition of Ball and Chain that could raise the
dead."
---Elaine Dutka, Time Magazine
“Her style echoes the greats - Brice, Midler, Horne,
Fitzgerald ...Few singers can deliver the soul and substance
of such music with the perfection of Theodore”
---Elaine Liner, Dallas Observer
"..an incredible voice and singing style...honored
a number of her favorite women in popular music that electrified
the audience. Indeed she’s a spectacular entertainer
with fabulous vocal skills.”
---Kappy Kapner, Suburban News

voice that manages to evoke such diverse ladies as Ella Fitzgerald,
Sarah Vaughan, Joni Mitchell & Patsy Cline..... Don't
miss her!”
