Her new show, Everyday Rapture, is so wonderful because it shines the spotlight not only on the voice that her devoted fans have adored for so long but on the voice that we may not have been as aware of, her personal story of her emotional/spiritual journey from her Mennonite childhood to her current divadom. Part musical, part one-woman show (plus two female backup singers and a teenage boy, for one fantastic sequence), part Bette Midler-style concert with covers of songs both classic and obscure, heartfelt and campy, part performance art piece, part cabaret act, this mostly autobiographical work is the perfect showcase for Sherie Rene Scott and her enormous talent, allowing us a peek into the psyche of this remarkable performer and the opportunity to hear her fabulous interpretations of some fantastic music.
