The Greatest Star Comes to Ohio
by Christina Mancuso - March 26, 2025

But Hannah Shankman marched herself onto the stage at the Ohio Theatre and commanded every beat of the drum. She’s quirky, clever, adorable, ambitious, lovable, and has impeccable comedic timing – but her show stopping voice is what sets her apart and generates thunderous, mouth-dropping applause. And she does it with such natural ease.
