Review of The Andrews Brothers in Jerry Layton’s Curtain Calls

The find of the evening is Alisha Todd (Peggy).  She is petite, pert and sassy.  She has pizzazz a luminous personality and a bright, sparkling voice.  She is strong enough to get herself three solos in the course of the evening.

   She pairs well with Rojas in a giant/munchkin romantic relationship, and they dance delightfully to “On a Slow Boat to China” and a Hawaiian Medley.

Review of the Andrews Brothers in South Florida Blade  Magazine

“Todd is perfectly cast in her standout role as the backup singer, approaching the role as a contemporary Dorothy Lamour. Her Peggy is smart and sassy and manipulates the stagehands expertly with her feminine wiles.”

 

Review of The Andrews Brothers in The Miami Herald

“Opening act Peggy Jones (Alisha Todd), a curvy singer with sass …is the best on the thespian front, displaying moxie, decent dance moves and … a spark between Peggy and Patrick.”

 

Review of Romeo & Juliet in the St. Petersburg Times

A scaled-down version of the Shakespeare classic, presented on the Alley Cat Players' new, minuscule stage, benefits from passionate performances. Alisha Campton (Todd) … does solid work with difficult material and unusual logistics.

Review of Romeo & Juliet  in The Weekly Planet

Then there's the acting of … Alisha Campton (Todd) …Her Juliet …is solid and ingratiating. What Campton emphasizes is Juliet's innocence: this is an inexperienced young girl with no defenses against a handsome suitor, just optimism and an obstinately clear view of paradise.”

 

Review of the Joy of Gay Sex in The Weekly Planet

“The other standout is Alisha Campton (Todd) in the … part of Jane.

 

BEST DINNER THEATRE - Laffing Matterz in The Broward-Palm Beach New Times

 “It's a real-live troupe, full of creative men and women who create hilarious cultural and political musical satire. Some of the material is local, like the bits on I-95 driving and hurricanes; some of it is national, like the Bush bits; and some of it is flat-out universal, like the smoking and cosmetic surgery pieces. They're going to surprise -- and entertain -- the hell out of you.”

LATELY, ENSEMBLE CASTS PROVIDING THE LAFFING MATTERZ


“A comedy scene given to fits and starts is in the midst of several starts. The fresh energy is coming almost entirely from shows that require an ensemble cast.  Instead of solo acts, Laffing Matterz will present a Capitol Steps-style musical parody show. The 13 performers all have a theater background.”

CURTAIN CALLS

“Laffing Matterz is a fully-staged, production show, singing, dancing, a cast of a dozen plus and some of the funniest material every to grace any stage. It is sort of Saturday Night Live LIVE! The show … is brilliant, biting and bodacious.”

Bursting at the Seams

“Although it may look like your average comedy club, this place is anything but. Opened five months ago, the venue provides the setting for a live, original, musical parody show spoofing current events — not to mention some heartfelt truths. But instead of solo acts, as is the norm with most traditional stand-up places, this 90-minute show contains about 24 satirical numbers …performed by a multitalented ensemble cast of thirteen. Written by a creative team of people from all parts of the country, the material is sharp, witty, rarely predictable, and performed by a lively and well-rehearsed crew, including co-owners Rita and Mark Wells. And it's funny — really funny. “
