“Sullivan is spectacular. Her Czech accent rings true, which is not an easy feat. While Girl is petite, self-controlled and practical—“I’m always serious; I’m Czech!” she says—we sense a small fire raging inside. She handles the funny moments and the heartbreak with equal aplomb, and is quite skilled on the piano. However, what really stands out is her singing. Her voice is angelic, with no vocal break and no excessive vibrato. It is captivating.”

“Each is as remarkable a vocalist as they are a musician and storyteller. Sidebar: Two of these, Craft and Sullivan, have led productions of Once in the past. After seeing them here, I can’t help but wish that the Rep would stage that show and reunite these two…Loomis and Sullivan sing wonderfully together…each of these performers is an astonishing talent, switching instruments left and right with ease.”
