CROSSROADS - Crossroads is a sexy, poignant, romantic and funny life-story with an underlying theme that stresses the importance of being true to your self. A little Jazz, a little Opera, some Salsa-rap and Broadway. Wildly original songs wrapped around a passionate love story. Musical theatre that will lift your spirits!
"Lewis is a gifted singer, but more importantly, a born communicator." - The Montreal Gazette
"There is something about Barbara Lewis's music that immediately touches you and pulls you into its world. It's not explained only by the fact that her voice is hauntingly beautiful, or that the harmonies and poetry are intimate and lyrical. As she describes her journey and her experiences, it is clear that the power of the music lies in the courage it took to write it and in the daring to produce absolutely authentic work - the driving force behind all art." - Kristine Berey, Senior Times
"Music is Barbara Lewis’s life and she’s got the opera chops to belt it through Club Lambi, down the stairs and into the bustle of St-Laurent. The seasoned performer is heartfelt, sharing tidbits about her youth, living through 9/11 and the loss of her soulmate. The most fun is when she’s a New York agent who proffers a star machine makeover. Crossroads works best, however, when Lewis’s training doesn’t get in the way, letting her drop it down and be natural." - Janis Kirshner, The Montreal Mirror
"Of the 'Fringe For all' snippets... I saw many which rose above the rest...(including) Crossroads - An Astonishing Musical Journey" - Gaetan Charlebois, The Gazette
