It's 1972 and Cilla leaves home and moves to Christchurch to study. She is determined to escape her sheltered and privileged upbringing and let her hair down. The story has humour and a selection of iconic songs from the 60's and 70's including Leonard Cohen's Suzanne, Bob Dylan It's All Over Now Baby Blue, The Rolling Stones Ruby Tuesday and Bread's Make It With You amongst others. With a strong Kiwi theme this show has wide appeal.

"Ferguson is a superb musician with a gorgeous, golden voice. Every song is beautifully sung with complete assurance and stylistic control. She seems to have a real affinity with Leonard Cohen's songs and her performance of 'Suzanne' was a highlight. She rises to the challenge of representing multiple characters with some believable and often very funny characterisation, particularly that of Cilla and her boyfriend, the chauvinistic Johnnie".(Vicki Thorpe)www.theatreview.org.nz/reviews
