Maryland Theatre Guide
"As Sandy, Michael’s insecure ex-girlfriend, Payton Reilly is a scene-stealer, especially in her signature number that reprises throughout the show as she always expects the worst in the fast–paced 'What’s Gonna Happen.'"
Theatre Bloom
"Ashley Alexandra plays sympathetic Julie, the actress with whom Michael becomes smitten. Alexandra is warm, likeable and delivers a strong musical number in 'Gone, Gone, Gone.'"
Chatham Life and Style
"A hilarious Jared David Michael Grant is on hand as roomie Jeff Slater to deliver the goods. Equally delightful is Payton Reilly as agitated gal pal Sandy Lester."
BroadwayWorld
"As Rita Marshall, Kathy Halenda knocks it out of the park with a feisty and impeccably timed virtuosic piece of comic playing. Ms. Halenda took crisp command of the amusing 'I Like What She's Doing.'"
Houston Chronicle
"And not enough can be said about [Jeff actor Jared David Michael] Grant, whose dead-on deadpan often had the audience in stitches, and he also knocked the gloriously profane 'Jeff Sums It Up' straight out of the park."
The State Press
"Tootsie harkens back and renews the classic Broadway formula … Becker puts on an amazing performance as Dorothy [and] wins the hearts of the characters and audience."
