| about Hortensio and the Merchant in The Taming of the Shrew, Walking the dog Theater "...the play's the thing - and it's a rousing success. There's more energy in this production than in most Broadway musicals. And the performers handle Shakespeare's words with considerable panache and style. Standouts in the ensemble cast include... Noelle Holly in two different and very funny roles. Their production of the Taming of the Shrew is one of the most pleasant diversions you'll find on area stages this year. " --Review by Bruce Hallenbeck, www.RadioAlbany.com "A smash hit - a must see production - perfectly cast. Noelle Holly was just right as Hortensio and Merchant. One cannot stress enough the comic genius of Shakespeare in this riotous work. It is full of the most wonderful side-splitting humor and more than two hours of laughter. " --Review by John Paul Keeler, The Register Star about Bessie in Marvin’s Room, T. Schreiber Studios “Noelle gave a really wonderful performance with great depth and restraint. She really knows how to move an audience.” --Gabriel Byrne, Actor, Tony-nominee “Noelle was luminous!” --Tina Howe, Playwright, Tony- and Pulitzer-nominee “Holly gives Bessie a serenity unmatched by those around her.” --Amy Krivohlavek, OffOffOnline “Holly achieves real impact during a powerful Act II speech in which Bessie tells the story of her one true love.” --Michael Criscuolo, nytheatre.com “Marvin’s Room glides down the line between comedy and drama effortlessly. A wonderful performance by Noelle Holly who manages to somehow play both fragility and strength simultaneously…” --Armistead Johnson, NewYorkCool about Ryn in The Danish Mediations, Access Theatre “...Noelle Holly, as Ryn, [gives] an engaging and graceful performance.” " ... the performances are so strong that they transcend the occasional formulaic nature of the character development." --Samantha O'Brien, OffOffOnline Pick of the Week “And this ensemble cast including...Ryn (played by Noelle Holly) truly masters the act of acting,...” --Jennifer Rathbone, theateronline.com about Bonnie in Hurlyburly, T. Schreiber Studios “The actors do a fine job…In particular…Noelle Holly gives a sassy portrayal of a burn-out oozing with tough sexuality.” --Kerrie Smith, TheatreScene “…the female actors…are a breath of fresh air in the testosterone-driven quarrels between the men. They bring a raciness and quirky flirtatiousness...” --Rebecca Halpin, OffOffOnline about Laura in The Glass Menagerie, Tennessee Repertory Theater “Holly imbues [Laura] with an odd cracked-voice spunkiness and an off-beat sense of humor. In this play, Laura is truly peculiar, and in the final analysis, it works. ” --Lisa DuBois, The Nashville Banner |
