Testimonials for Monica Trapaga
Please pass onto Monica enormous thanks and appreciation from myself and all our production staff for the brilliant way she handled the difficult circumstances, as a result of the wet weather, on Saturday. We were all flying by the seat of our pants but with Monica at the helm of the concert it all went like a dream - she became one of the team and just made it all happen in her typical charming, stylish and professional way. A total delight to have involved in any of our events and I look forward to the next occasion.Darling Harbour Events Manager, Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority
Monica is the consummate professional with a warm, energetic and engaging presence, she was ready to entertain from the minute she stepped on stage and kept the music going right to the event’s end and even beyond, while staff and volunteers packed up. She was a vibrant ball of energy and we were so impressed we have booked her again for Animalia 2008!”

Truly hilarious! Even if you know nothing about the artists Monica and her extraordinary accompanist Elliot salute during this lively and slightly naughty show, you will clap, laugh and be educated on the greats of song and of course ‘Rehab’. We will definitely be contacting these guys again for our future events.
