A Doris Day Special

Ralph McAlister, Kapiti Independent News, 18th September 2017

• You would be a fool to miss this brilliant piece of musical theatre.
• A World Class show.

Jo Hodgson, Theatreview, 18th September 2017

• BEAUTIFUL, QUIRKY, GUTSY.
• Ali captivates us with her take on Doris's story and as it unfolds, we discover a woman with a huge love of life.
• Ali Harper really is an NZ treasure in the performance world. Her effervescent energy and character draw the audience in and carry us along.

Madelaine Empson, Regional News Reviewer, 18th September 2017

• In A Doris Day Special, Ali is again a force to be reckoned with, and I find my grin uncontainable from beginning to end.
• The show is wonderfully presented, the structure engaging and the costumes spectacular.

Peter Mechen, Middle C reviewer, 16th September 2017

• Harper has that indefinable but overwhelming star quality which seems to fuse with whatever song she is singing, and whatever persona she is presenting.
• I enjoyed being, once again, “galvanised” by Ali Harper, by turns basking in and further energising the fulsomeness of her commitment as a performer and communicating that same energy to her fortunate audiences.

Ewen Coleman, Dominion Post, 18th September 2017

• A great evening’s entertainment.
• Being an excellent singer and consummate performer Harper is able to truly epitomise everything everyone ever imagines about Day.
• It is the production values of this show and the way Harper and her team have put together an incredibly stylised, sophisticated production that is the stand out feature.
