This smashing musical revue tracks five groovy gals as they come of age during those liberating days that made England swing! SHOUT! flips through the years like a musical magazine and takes you back to the music, the fashion and the freedom of the 60's! Join this non-stop journey through the infectious and soulful pop anthems and ballads that made household names of stars like Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield and Lulu with such chart-topping hits as "To Sir With Love," "Downtown," "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," "Son of A Preacher Man," and "Goldfinger."

Angel's career is rich in diverse experiences. She has enjoyed touring around the world and has performed to international acclaim in Japan, Korea, Barbados, and India.
