I asked Anna to perform the singing telegram number from the movie “Clue” for my brother’s birthday and she did not disappoint. I reached out to her last minute and she worked so hard to make sure the performance was perfect and exactly what I wanted. She was so communicative, super creative and worked so hard to help curate such a wonderful birthday experience for my brother. He LOVED it and couldn’t stop laughing. So happy that I found her!

Recently requested Anna to deliver a singing telegram to friends on their 50th Wedding Anniversary.
WOW….Anna was just great!
Not only was she professional and adorable in her attire, she captured the moment seamlessly while bringing people together in voice and participation!
Thank you Anna!

I can also sing a song of your choice so please reach out!

I am available for longer performances as Olivia Newton-John, Freddie Mercury, AC/DC or Marilyn Monroe.
