“The real surprise of the night was Samantha Britt’s Beatrice — in the title role. Petite and lovely, she had the goods in all departments.

Miss Britt had total control of her flexible, silvery instrument, and hit the mark every time, with lovely floated tones and plangent high notes.”
“Samantha Britt portrays Mag as a sparkling, playful young woman whose impish side regularly runs head-first into her deep and shattering anxieties... remarkable, fully capturing the audience’s love and empathy.”
