The Accidental Club
Mira Dawson, a washed up rock star, dies of an accidental overdose while celebrating the beginning of her revival tour. She suddenly finds herself hanging out at The Accidental Club, with Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday and Amy Winehouse, winning Angel of The Month. When she wins, she gets the chance to come back to earth for one last concert with her faithful fans. Billie warns her not to go, Get ready for the pain girl. Janis tells her, Honey, if it feels good, do it! She believes this is all a crazy dream and that at any moment she'll wake up. Throughout the concert, Mira and the other members reveal secrets and impart songs of love, fame, addiction and death. As the clock ticks toward midnight, discoveries are made, and Mira becomes increasingly anxious as she realizes she's not waking up. Will she? Will we? Written and performed by Sherrie Scott.
Talkbacks after the shows discussing addiction and the accidental overdose epidemic in America.
Los Angeles Reviews
"Sherrie Scotts voice carries The Accidental Club. From the powerful opening notes to its conclusion, she sings standards and her own songs and convincingly channels three of the most iconic voices of recording history Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin and Amy Winehouse." - John K. Adams, Tolucan Times - http://tolucantimes.info/theatre_review/rockin-the-afterlife-at-the-accidental-club/
"I congratulate Ms Scott on an interesting and well thought out play as well as on her excellent skills as a vocalist. Not many would attempt Joplin, Holiday and Winehouse in a single evening. Bravo!" - by Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros - NoHoArtsDistrict - http://nohoartsdistrict.com/theatres/theatre-reviews/item/5050-the-accidental-club-the-whitefire-theatre
"Scott does a wonderful job in invoking the spirits of three wonderful singers who left an enduring impression to the world with her voice and music. She did a beyond fantastic job in bringing these ladies together for a once in a lifetime opportunity. Scott pulled off an excellent feat. She rocked it!!!" - Mary E. Monitor - All About the Stage - http://www.allaboutthestage.com/?p=470
"Sherrie Scott sends up Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin,and Amy Winehouse who reflect on their lives, their demons, and their careers mixed in with her own songbooks, to deliver an entertaining and thoughtful exploration of fame and addiction, life and death. Scott hooks us with the gripping tale of her journey to the "other side."
- Bob Bows - Theater Critic for the Denver Post and Variety Magazine
"A Heavenly Show -Sherrie has crafted a clever musical that skillfully exhibits all of her many talents, her singing (is exquisite), her songwriting (deep, emotional, spot-on,) her acting (I swear when she channels Janis, you can smell the Southern Comfort,) and her beliefs and thoughts about life and the after-life are delightful, charming, and heart-felt.
- Maggie Simms - Theater Critic for Best in Show
"Incredible show -- I highly recommend it! Loved the premise -- wonderful acting, gorgeous singing -- a top-notch act.
