Testimonials
"It flows seemlessly, making its points with down-to-earth humanity as well as possessing an entertaining flair…. but primarily it's the star who makes it all work. Her incredible light shines
brightly at every moment. She may not think she's famous, but she will live on in our hearts….
and that's about as famous as one could wish to be."
~Don Grigware, Broadway World
“Minkus, a tiny woman, bursts forth with a breathtaking energy that is both mesmerizing and comforting – she has over 6 decades in the business to draw from. Barbara lures her audience in song and in tales of growing up in a different time – with the reminders that we all have the same feelings and needs, no matter our age… This dynamo excels and is a woman to be reckoned with!"
~E.M. Fredric, The Hollywood Times

It’s marvelous on several fronts; the writing is personal and warm, your story is both fascinating and touching, your singing is honest and passionate and your storytelling, timing and delivery are just superb – dramatic, theatrical and smart… And best of all, it’s fun and funny!”
