MISS SIGN ON:  THE UNTOLD STORY OF A DIVA ON THE DOLE

“…This is a new musical with some great songs and routines, carried out by a cast of six, who manage to make their presence feel much larger… Marnie Baumer has a terrific singing voice and is clearly a musical theatre pro, and there are some good cameo performances from other cast members. After a rousing finale, the audience storm the stage.”
- The Scotsman

“…The cast is ably led by Marnie Baumer and supported by 5 other actors who double and treble up on parts without ever losing credibility. The numerous changes to the clever but minimalist set are also carried out by the cast together with several costume changes so their considerable talent and ability to multi-task should hopefully keep them out of the local job centre. In a studio setting you could see that this production played to a smiling and engaged audience.”
- Edinburgh Guide

“MISS SIGN-ON is a joy – catch it quickly because I predict this will have the full-house sign outside the George 2 tardis very soon. I’ll never listen to an audition song in the same way again. It’s a masterclass in pastiche… A special thank you to the diva Ms Marnie Baumer for giving us a performance to treasure, and the rest of the cast for their musicality and instant characterisation – I recognised everyone…including the lady at the dole office…”
- Whatsonstage.com

“…Miss Sign-on is the hysterically witty story of The Diva, played by the brilliant Marnie Baumer who finds herself out of work and a bit strapped for cash… Written by Stefan Bednarczyk and Jamie Read and directed by Elizabeth Park, Miss Sign-on is not to be missed. Nestled snugly into the cozy space of George two at the Musical Theatre at George Square Venue, there is not a bad seat in the house. Without a doubt, Miss Sign-on will have you rolling in the isles and begging for more!”

"Of course, the night was The Diva’s. Marnie Baumer played her to perfection – never once compromising the truth of this cartoon character while making her both intensely loathable and superbly lovable. Her numbers flowed, full of rich character, and her movement was marvellous. Numbers such as “Twenty-Six” and “Miss Sign-On” will not be readily forgotten...Impeccable comic timing"
