Review Corner
“The alluring Aliah James makes a strong impression via flashbacks as the young Donna Sheridan and brings a required resonance to the piece." From the Desk of Jim R, Take 2, Column 176, A Review: “Mamma Mia!” (Ivoryton Playhouse)
“..- so unlike her own young self (the charismatic Aliah James), lead singer of Donna and the Dynamos, and passionately independent, even when she finds herself pregnant and unsure of her baby’s father." ShoreLineTimes, A sweetly energetic ‘Mamma Mia’ Review: Brooks Appelbaum
“The brilliant cast of singer/dancer/actors light up the stage as Kit Kat Klub performers. This ensemble- Corrie Farbstein, Taavon Gamble,..Jade Genga, Aliah James,…-are a superb example of a group of professionals who appear as if they’ve been working together for years, even though they’ve only had 2.5 weeks of rehearsal!”Critics on The Aisle, Powerful, Must-See CABARET Thrills At Ivoryton Playhouse CT, Review: Don Church and Tony Schillaci
