Wet Sounds – Adelaide Fringe Review – 4 stars

The lyrics of the Diana Ross classic hit, “I’m coming out, I want the world to know”, boomed out via the singers and their enthusiastic personalities. The trio of Aaron, Celeste and Deanna were as bright as their glittery costumes as they took the audience on...
