VIOLET....."I also really enjoyed Katharine Heaton in a series of small ensemble roles, including the elderly lady on the bus. Now for those of you that did shows in college and were cast in the "old man" or "old lady" role - you were bummed right? I know I was. But Heaton takes on this challenge and rocks the heck out of it. Heaton has that spark of theatre magic. I found my eyes drifting towards her in the large choral numbers just to see what she might be up to." ~ Bixby Elliot, Two For the Aisle, NYC
CANDIDE....."The finest performance of the evening, however, belonged to Katharine Heaton as Cunegonde's faithful servant, the one-buttocked Old Lady. Ms. Heaton has a rich mezzo voice and spot-on comic timing. One rarely finds the combination of a well-trained opera singer and a true comedienne, and we often settle for one of the other with this role." - David Rigano, Festival Arts NYC
GEORGE M! ....."Katharine Heaton as Templeton radiates turn of the century pulchritude in a spectacular emerald green dress. When she sings 'Mary’s a Grand Old Name' in Act Two, the audience is so moved by Ms. Heaton's rich coloratura voice and haunting treatment of this marvelous ballad. She thrilled the audience, producing sentiment and wonder -- easily the most striking solo performance in the show. What a voice Ms. Heaton has!" ~ White Plains Daily, NY
"Katharine Heaton's rendition of "Mary's A Grand Old Name" is a showstopper, and she lends her fine soprano to the hit songs that make up the second act."~ James Cotter, Times Herald Record, NY
FORUM....."Heaton unleashes an exceptionally strong soprano voice as the relentless, unforgiving wife." - The Times, Danbury CT
KING DAVID....."Sir Time Rice and Alan Menken were visibly moved during a staging of their scarcely known musical KING DAVID at New York's Skirball Center for the Performing Arts last evening, with standout turns by Jay Armstrong Johnson as King David and Katharine Heaton as Michal." ~ NY Insider
