"Jessica Wise (Clorinda) is
fittingly noisy and obnoxious, though her venom is countered by vocal precision and shine"
The Stage ****
"Tisbe (Elora Ledger) and Clorinda (Jessica Wise) made a dream duo of comic relief - from the moment they appeared from each side of the stage until the final bow, they were the glue that held the show together. Bold and brave, they went to extremes to sell the idea of the modern-day British Cinderella plot. The two actresses went above and beyond, rolling around on the floor, stuffing bras and buttocks, and changing costumes in full view" Art de Vivre

"Elora Ledger and Jessica Wise were superb step-sisters, singing marvellously while never letting up on their posturing frightfulness"
Hastings Independent Press *****
"Jessica Wise as Clorinda and Elora Ledger as Tisbe demonstrated remarkable vocal talents as the stepsisters. Their portrayals were fittingly detestable, self-centred, and bratty, effectively capturing the essence of their characters. Together, they formed a seamless duo, delivering comedic moments that brought grins (and a few looks of horror) to the audience’s faces." A Youngish Perspective
