CAN’T A GIRL GET A BREAK SYNOPSIS:

In the one-woman musical comedy, CAN’T A GIRL GET A BREAK, Sage Advice, the world-famous relationship expert, has all the answers to the age old question: How to ‘find true love and drop kick the rest!’  But how about her own love life?

Audiences are sure to enjoy the uplifting music and larger than life character of Sage Advice, created and brought to life by Broadway and opera singing actress Doreen Firestone.  This is a 60-70 minute program with musical selections by various composers such as Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein.

A REVIEW OF THE PERFORMANCE AT THE OCEANSIDE PUBLIC LIBRARY

FEBRUARY 15, 2018

“The Oceanside patrons enjoyed this uplifting and comedic show.  Doreen interacted with the audience and made them feel like they were part of the action.  She is a talented musician and performer, as is her pianist, Ann Zalkind.  It was wonderful to work with both of them.  I would highly recommend Doreen Firestone.  If her performance at the Oceanside Library is any indication of how she’d perform in the future, Doreen’s show will be a wonderful addition to your program!
