"As Portia... Lauren Dodds gives a performance that is a perfectly calibrated comic gem." - Don Aucoin, The Boston Globe

"Dodds is the show's true standout; her sonorous soprano, laced with innuendo in 'I Love the Way,' sweeps throughout the room. Her physical comedy is as sharp as her wit, transitioning from fervent fangirling to swooning drunkenness with ease."

- Helen Ganley, The New England Theatre Geek

"Dodds excels at the perkiness of the nerdy Portia character, lifting up the lilting song, 'I Love the Way.'" - Kevin T. Baldwin, METR Magazine

"The tender duet, 'I Love the Way,' by nerdy lovers Nigel and Portia (a terrific Lauren Dodds)... provides a genuinely touching counterpoint to the raucous production." - Mike Hoban, The Theater Mirror

"[Ashkenazi's] chemistry with Lauren Dodds as Portia - whose singing was exceptional throughout - was another highlight of the show. Their scene in the park, where he reads her a poem, elicited enough laughter to lift the roof off the theater." - The Poplar Review

"a very humorous Lauren Dodds" - Jacquinn Sinclair, WBUR

"lovely singing voice" as "catchy Portia" - Paul E. Fallon, Medium

"excellently played and cast" - Emily Brenner, Stage and Cinema
