The Los Angeles Times calls Sharon McNight “one of the great wonders of the musical stage.” My two cents worth? This sarcastic strutting diva’s “Songs to Offend Almost Everyone,” is one of the funniest, most entertaining shows I’ve ever seen.
Her banter is frank and risqué, her stories moving. Reminiscent of comic legends like Martha Raye, her irreverent re-working of songs is both hilarious and thought provoking. “Wind Beneath My Wings,” for example, becoming “Contempt Beneath My Feet” dedicated to the couples in the audience.
