| Reviews | "[For all the impressive singing and acting in “After Life,” the afternoon belonged to Melissa Wimbish, who was creating the role of Josephine Baker in this world premiere of “Josephine.” Beautifully prepared, vocally stunning, and theatrically riveting, Wimbish effortlessly held the audience in her hand throughout this one-woman show. Her nuanced portrayal of the immensely talented and complex Baker, whose career spanned sensational success in French cabaret and film to civil rights activism in the United States, brimmed with confident vitality."
