“But it’s Ado Annie who positions herself as the show’s unlikely feminist, a woman who espouses the joys of sex and romance. It could easily lapse into caricature, but Madeline Hamlet plays her as a woman unashamed of her predilections and her body. It’s a smart characterization and turns “I Can’t Say No,” a song often construed as sexist, into an unexpectedly empowering anthem.”

“…but my favorite performers were Priscilla Lopez playing Aunt Eller, and Madeline Hamlet playing Ado Annie. Both women have superlative comedic timing, and Hamlet’s rendition of “I Cain’t Say No” was perhaps the highlight of the show for me. She was so funny and charming and handled that song with aplomb.”

“Madeline Hamlet was a delightful breath of fresh air as she created a scene with “A Quiet Thing” from Flora the Red Menace. This young lady knows who she is and how to present her gifts.”
