Reviews
“singing voice is especially wonderful and one soul-baring song she sings about old hurts will break your heart."
Triumph of Love, Ogden Standard Examiner
“is a standout in the cast.”
Radio Gals, The Salt Lake Tribune
“some of the funniest bits in the show as a melodramatic, high-strung 'artiste.'.”
Radio Gals, The Salt Lake Tribune
“gave [a] good strong performance, both vocally and dramtically. [Her] rendition of 'Milonga of the Annuciation' was one of the high points of the evening.”
Maria de Buenos Aires, The Deseret News
“delighted the audience with her songbird-like voice and expressive eyes, both of which heightened the incongruity of her actions.”
Two Psychotic Killers, The Park Record
