What the Press Says

Triple (quadruple? quintuple?) threat Noël Simoné Wippler is endlessly engrossing on every front: Even before she plays a single note, she nails Sister Rosetta's particular 1940s Southern accent, her bright smile and elegant showman's body language — and then her voice fills the theater.

Dan Letchworth

San Diego Magazine · 2019

Noël Simoné Wippler (Sister Rosetta) was trained and has been feted as a classical and jazz singer.

Pat Launer

Times of San Diego · 2019

She had moments that really connected, too, and nailed some sweet, bluesy guitar riffs on such songs as 'I Looked Down the Line' and 'Strange Things,' one of Rosetta's signature tunes.
