"The show works because McHenry captures the audience’s attention from her first song and carries them through the story... McHenry’s vocals and performance point her toward star-status–just give her time to become known in New York. She’s young, fresh, and has acting and vocal talents to bring audiences to their feet..."(Bob Evans, KC Applause Review)

"Samantha McHenry stars as Jerusha Abbott. Actors are seldom as perfect for a role as McHenry is for this one. She inhabits Jerusha like we all inhabit our favorite article of clothing. She's wears her comfortably, believably, and is so genuine in her approach it's as if the role was written with her in mind. McHenry checks through the emotional highs and lows of this character so convincingly she has the audience on the edge of their seats. McHenry's brilliant performance is...quite special."
(Paul Bolton, Broadway World Review)
