“It’s a show-stopping moment for Ms. De Maria, whose flawless, finely calibrated performance all evening almost steals the show.”- Manning Harris, Atlanta InTown Paper
"...in strictly musical terms, every member of Ashley’s company gets an opportunity to shine in a half-dozen or so song highlights... rousing solos by De Maria (“I’m Breaking Down”) and Harris (“You Gotta Die Sometime”).."-Bert Osborne, Atlanta Journal Constitution
"Of all the performers, especially noteworthy are De Maria, warm and confused at a turning point her life; Newberg’s precocious Jason; and Harris’ Whizzer, who isn’t one for monogamy and the domesticity Marvin wants, but doesn’t come across as a complete cad either."-Jim Farmer, ArtsATL
"Jessica De Maria delivers a powerful performance which reveals the complexity of a woman who is willing to sacrifice her happiness for the good of her family."-Jody Key, Speakeysie Entertainment Review and Promotion
"Jessica de Maria is an engaging Trina (Marvin's wife), making her sympathetic and marvelously neurotic -- her "I'm Breaking Down," is a musical and comic highlight of her performance."-Brad Rudy, Atlanta Theatre Buzz
"Another standout is Jessica De Maria as Trina. Listen to me when I say she is SINGING. Jessica is using her ENTIRE range for this role, from the chest, to the mix, and straight to the head voice and doing it all seamlessly. I’ve never seen anyone be so vocally full and present as she is."-Marshall Mabry, MWMIV Speaks
