Songs for Nobodies
Following her acclaimed sold-out season in London’s West End, Bernadette Robinson returns in the hit play Songs For Nobodies.
First performed 10 years ago, Songs For Nobodies is a spellbinding one woman play, a tour de force of imagined encounters between five mid 20th-century divas, Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf and Maria Callas, and five ordinary women.
Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith has mined a rich seam of longing, humour and quiet frustration to conjure the alchemic effect these women’s encounters with their musical idols have on their lives.
Under the direction of Simon Phillips, Robinson switches characters and vocals without a breath, each song choice a glorious homage and celebration, delivered with passion and emotion that few ever come close to.
Songs For Nobodies proves Robinson to be a virtuoso singer, a virtuoso impressionist and a virtuoso actor.
RRP listed is for a double pass.

Bernadette Robinson is a national treasure. Her performance last night was astounding. She is incredibly versatile and her voice sublime. Her Edith Piaf was a stand out. The show is highly entertaining and a must see.

My daughter and I loved it. Wonderful performer
An entertaining show. Love to hear more of the operatic songs.
We bought a CD after the show but the CD was faulty, cannot even be played through the first track, very disappointing. I tried to have it changed or refunded but got no where. Could you help?

This was a brilliant show. Bernadette Robinson is magnificent. She moves seemelesly from one charater to the next. Her voice range and voice are amazing. She moves from Billy Holiday to Maria Callas and nails each one. Fantastic night.
Songs for Nobodies is a lovely reminder of the power of music. Geraldine Robinson is an impressive shape-shifter, moving effortlessly between character and song; a wonderful night out.
Enjoyed

Fantastic production and outstanding voice
Amazing show, what a talent!
An incredible performance by the talented Bernadette Robinson.
From the moment the lights went up I was drawn into the stories and the way they were told. A seemingly effortless transition from character to character by an extremely talented performer. Priviledged to have seen this wonderful show
What a talented actress - who sings beautiful with such such passion- can mimic other female singers so well. Definitely worth seeing- thanks
This is a wonderful theatrical event by someone in full control of her craft.
Bernadette Robinson effortlessly acts across a wide range showcasing her wonderful vocal talent with anthems from some of the greatest singers. A fantastic homage by someone who can do it. Go see her.
Bernadette Robinson was outstanding. She is an amazing actor and singer and this show should not be missed.
Completely outstanding. Love love loved the entire show. What a talent

Outstanding, spectacular, mesmerising- an amazing feat of musical theatre ability
Bernadette Robinson is truly a very talented actor and singer . Beautiful voice and charming personality . I most enjoyed the evening
Almost jumped out of my seat ... was enthralled the entire evening. What a treat! Unforgettable, really.
This show is nothing short of brilliant. Bernadette Robinson is understated and wonderful.
Bernadette Robinson - wow! I wish I had seen her perform sooner, she is a bonafide star. Her transitions between characters were seamless, and the play itself was wonderful (celebrating not only the singers, but the "nobodies").
Wonderful performance and excellent singing
A Tour de Force of acting and singing in scenes depicting women who have had contact with famous singers, from Country and Western to Opera. Bernadette Robinson nails them all with fabulous vocal skills.
Bernadette Robinson is simply always wonderful charming and her voice them most magnificent
There is no doubt about the skills set that Ms Robinson brings to the performance, but somehow it is a piece for a niche audience. In my humble opinion it could do with some more variation in the format of the script and costume.
I was not able to attend
