From Baghdad to Brooklyn
"Azar never asks for the audience's sympathy and thereby wins it in droves. Hers is a beautifully calibrated performance...an engaging, and enjoyable evening of storytelling and song."

"From Baghdad to Brooklyn, through its music, song, drama, and humor, takes the audience on a journey that seamlessly weaves a complex intergenerational tale that enriches the soul. Azar's performance is beautiful, creating an intimate connection with the audience so that they can all connect to this emotional and heartfelt story of family, immigration, and culture."

"Everyone must see this masterful phenomenon. The script, the songs, so carefully chosen, so specific to the story line. The voice of the artist was more touching than any I had heard for a long time. You found yourself tearful and then smiling and then riding the roller coaster again and again. Yes it was a real today story with so much emotion and wonderful direction."
