PRESS QUOTES

“Today's leading lady of new musicals." - Sunday Express 

“Her second stunning solo album showcases a series of new songs and new composers. Musical theatre is in safe hands when promoted as brilliantly as this."  -Mark Shenton 

"Atherton is a good enough singer to make us uncharacteristically jealous. If the hidden track doesn’t make you stop what you’re doing then you’re probably not entirely human."  - Pink Paper
