"Muriel Eubanks and Andre Thibault, played here by the marvelous Jessica De Maria, who lights up the stage at every turn, and Steve Hudson...The two, working together to sell an unlikely romance between a bored wealthy socialite and a corrupt French police inspector, are so fun to watch that they very nearly upstage the primary players.-Amy Zipperer, BroadwayWorld, Atlanta on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
"These witches are seductive, sensuous, and deliciously wicked. Other very nice performances...Jessica De Maria’s (a stage animal) provocative witch and also the Porter, who has the most famous comic relief scene in history"-Manning Harris, Atlanta InTown Paper on Macbeth "Jessica De Maria steals nearly every scene she is in as both housekeeper Mrs. Brill and the Bird Woman. Her put-upon Scottish servant is one of the show's comedic highlights, while her duet with Crawley on "Feed the Birds" was extremely moving."-Matt Tamanini, BWW Reviews on Mary Poppins "All three actors are impressive, but De Maria is especially memorable. The narrator role could be a less showy one but in her hands the part becomes anything but. "-Jim Farmer, ArtsATL on Murder Ballad "Jessica De Maria plays Emma Borden, Lizzie’s loyal sister, with Ms. De Maria’s customary aplomb and pizazz."-Manning Harris, Atlanta InTown Paper |
"Jessica De Maria, who played the accordion and a variety of percussion instruments among other acting roles, exuded a contagious energy. She exemplified the tone of each scene as she invested her whole body in each individual moment of the performance."- Joel Lerner, The Emory Wheel on Once
“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 on Falsettos "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 on Falsettos "A great cast, boasting standout performances by Chase Peacock in the role of Freddy Benson and Jessica De Maria in the role of Muriel Eubanks..."-Amy Zipperer, BroadwayWorld Atlanta on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels "Jessica De Maria is a passionate actress with a powerful voice who always catches your attention, whether she is performing as the narrator in Murder Ballad at Actor's Express or the cook in Mary Poppins at Aurora Theatre".-Keely Herrick, 10 Best Local Actresses in Atlanta, AXS |
