what people say
“Asabi Goodman is a great singer who can adapt to any style, and also does a fine job of MCing the show. It's not surprising that as well as Jazz and Pop she proves herself a Queen of Soul as well and shares some fascinating anecdotes about Motown and the movie.”— stage whispers — review of the big chillout
“Goodman has an easy stage presence and great rapport with the audience, no doubt honed through her theatre appearances in Hairspray and Chicago. She'd be an asset to any show anywhere but she positively dazzles in this genre and brings new dynamics to iconic songs like “Natural Woman” and “You Don't Own Me”.”— stage whispers — review of the big chillout
“At its core, 'The Big Chill Out' is a celebration of the music of Motown.”— scenestr (asabi goodman, quoted)
“I love performing and I couldn't pass up an opportunity to perform the music of my culture.”— scenestr (asabi goodman, quoted)
