"Lisa, is an absolute legend as Kate Sheppard. Spending almost the entire performance on stage and belting out a heavy load of songs, Lisa carried the show with both strength and tenderness. Gathering the audience in to her flock and guiding us through Kate’s trials and tribulations as she fought to get the vote—Lisa had us all eating out of her hand."
