I got a free ticket to this show and almost didn't go to this 9pm show after a busy day.

In part, that was because I thought this might just be a tribute show, not much different than going to see some cover artist at the local casino or whatever.

I'm glad I went because I was absolutely blown away by this show - the performer was sexy, sassy and seriously talented.

She used the history of female black artists to tell the story of black America - from segregation to the civil rights movement to the use of a Beyonce song by the ground-breaking Kamala Harris campaign for Presidency of the United States.

But the show is not just a lecture or a revue. The song choices are inspired and you're not just hearing "the hits" but songs that help tell the story.

Perhaps surprisingly, a unique take on a Bob Dylan classic is a highlight as is the blending of Dolly Parton's gentleness leading into Whitney Houston's power for an incredible performance of one of the most successful songs of all-time, "I Will Always Love You".

I could go on and on but there's plenty of other moments that will surprise and delight you and you'll have to see this show for yourself to find out!
