Let's not beat around the bush, Rhonda Burchmore is a sultry sizzling smouldering smoking hot siren. From start to finish she filled the show with a combination of presence and flesh, matched with a voice that transports you back to the time of the smokey jazz clubs of LA.
Cry Me A River is a homage to the life of music and film star Julie London. Throughout the evening Burchmore, along with her über talented 10-piece jazz band, brings to life some of the greatest tunes that we never knew were on a Julie Londom album. Songs including Hushabye Mountain, Take Back Your Mink and Yummy Yummy Yummy are expertly tackled by Burchmore displaying her skill and charisma throughout. There are a few negatives throuout the evening, including the length. The show is very similar throughout and with nothing to truly break it up it comes across more as a repetitive speak then sing cabaret performance that needed only last for a good 80 minutes rather than a drawn out 120. Sound and balance issues were also a problem with the trumpet section overpowering the vocal on numerous occasions.
