"SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS"  - Millie Braden  - LYRIC THEATRE OF OKLAHOMA:

"Van Duyne is everything Stephen Vincent Bent intended when he wrote her. Strong willed, feisty and caring.

-By Johnnie-Margaret McConnell in The Norman Transcript, OC

“CRAZY FOR YOU”   - Irene Roth - SACRAMENTO MUSIC CIRCUS

Who could ask for anything more?
-Harmony Wheeler from Broadway World

COMPANY - Susan  - GEVA THEATER

“Company’ is very much an ensemble piece and this is a fine cast.  As the high powered revival now at Geva Theatre Center makes clear, “Company” belongs on the short list of great musicals.  In the show, and in the production and performances as well, Geva has got a winner on it’s hands.”  - Michael Lasser from Rochester City Newspaper.

"SONDHEIM: THE BIRTHDAY CONCERT" LINCOLN CENTER

"As the concert drew to a close, the aisles filled up with a chorus of young, black-clad Broadway performers joining to sing "Sunday," the climactic anthem from "Sunday in the Park With George." As Mr. Sondheim, with tears in his eyes, acknowledged the thunderous applause, he remarked, "Alice Longworth Roosevelt said, 'First you're young, then you're middle-aged, then you're wonderful.' This was wonderful, thank you all."
- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES

"FINIAN'S RAINBOW" - BROADWAY

"...but permanent sunshine can confidently be predicted for the vicinity of the St. James Theater, where the joyous revival of "Finian's Rainbow" opened on Thursday night. Here is where you should head this fall to warm your soul amid the diversions of that ever-great and ever-endangered American art form, musical comedy. All the comforting pleasures of the genre — infectious song, exuberant dancing, jokes both lovably corny and unexpectedly fresh, and of course the satisfying pairing of a him and a her — are on abundant display in this thoroughly winning production, a welcome picker-upper in an uneven Broadway season."
- Charles Isherwood, NEW YORK TIMES

- Peter Marks from THE WASHINGTON POST

-Mary Carole McCauley of BALTIMORE SUN

KISS ME KATE- PAPER MILL PLAYHOUSE

"Cole Porter's "Kiss Me, Kate" is back in fine form with ravishing voices, irresistible musical allure and an eyeful of spirited choreography that takes one's breath away."
- By Robert L. Daniels in VARIETY

"If I had to give a one word review for the Paper Mill Playhouse production of Kiss Me Kate, it would be "Wunderbar."... director James Brennan and choreographer Patti Colombo have done a bang-up job focusing on what is never out of date: Cole Porter's great score, and in bringing together a singing and dancing company that would be hard to beat."
- By Simon Saltzman in CurtainUp New Jersey
