“She’s got personality to burn and a keen sense of humor with a nice touch of sarcasm and irony, all of which projects her as compellingly sensual.” — Cabaret Scenes

“Pamela Lewis offered new, vibrant, self-created arrangements of 15 Joel compositions, performing them in her own self-confident style . . . If you care at all about the art of cabaret and its ability to illuminate a life we beg you not to miss it .”  – BistroAwards.com

“A zestful romp through the early catalogue of one of New York’s most prolific songwriting native sons . . . It’s cool when a woman sings an entire show of songs written by a man and puts her own spin on them by changing the feel, the tempo, and the arrangements. Lewis does all that with verve and then some in this show . . . Lewis is an entertainer, as she gestured with her hands in a way that one audience member told me afterward, ‘Cast a spell.’” – BroadwayWorld.com

“Lewis delves into the passion and pain that infuses [Billy Joel’s] work. It’s a touch of the new, a bit of the old and a lot of soul. She has a rich voice with the touch of a twang that is equally effective in Billy Joel’s rock/pop style.” – TheaterPizzazz.com
