THEATRE REVIEWS Dangerous Liaisons The Montrealer. (Peter Kerr) Romeo and Juliet
The Mirror. (Amy Barratt)
“But the reason to see this show is Anthousa Harris as Juliet. This recent Concordia Theatre grad is physically plausible as the young teen and manages to play her sweet without being saccharine or silly. She is a likeable, utterly believable Juliet.”
The Montrealer. (Peter Kerr) “Anthousa Harris as Juliet is as vivacious and genuine as Shakespeare probably imagined when he created her, and her enthusiasm and humour are ideal for the part.” The Gazette. (Matt Radz) “The show soars…Anthousa Harris’ Juliet musters the hot and cold passions the part requires.” Montreal Now. (Jim Lowe) “What gave [the] performance its power and pathos was the authentic feel of the interaction between Romeo and Juliet… [They] not only looked the part but were convincing as two teenagers in love, with their myopic vision and unbridled passion.” Forever Yours, Marie-Lou Indyish.com (Risa Dickens)
“Manon is played by Anthousa Harris with subtlety and tightly wound tenderness.” The Mirror. (Neil Boyce) “Anthousa Harris, the pious Manon, does well as a tragic echo of her stifled mother.” The Montrealer. (Peter Kerr) “Normally a vibrant young woman, Anthousa Harris goes through a metamorphosis in order to play the reclusive Manon.” Zadie’s Shoes Ottawa Citizen. (Patrick Langston)
"...and Lily, depicted with appropriate eastern-religion-and-tofu flakiness by Anthousa Harris.” The Fulcrum. (Tina Hassania) “Ruth’s hippie sister, Lily, is baked to perfection by Anthousa Harris.” MUSICAL THEATRE REVIEWS
Putting It Together The Gazette. (Pat Donnelly)
“Harris adds sizzle and broadway style to her numbers. Her girl-talk duet, There’s Always a Woman, is the highlight of the show.” The Record. (Corrina Pole) “There was a thrilling amount of electric energy generated by Harris and it was quite a surprise when the lovely actress took a seat upstage to accompany on the tuba…Harris gave a powerful and seductive version of Sooner or Later from Dick Tracy.” All Grown Up The Mirror. (Neil Boyce) “Anthousa Harris shows nice range as nerdy, sunny, big glasses-wearing Frances—a turn from her recent success as the repressed Manon in Centaur’s Forever Yours, Marie-Lou.” The Gazette. (Pat Donnelly) “All Grown Up is performed by three talented young locals. They harmonize beautifully, do their doo-wops with panache, yet establish themselves as individuals. They all have strong voices that can reach the cheap seats without microphones ... Anthousa Harris reveals another kind of charm as Frances, the nerd who graduates into liberated singledom. She does a touching take on the Shirelles classic, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.” Hudson Gazette. (Jim Duff) “They all have strong, distinctive voices that blend effortlessly when it comes time to making those old harmonies work.” Your Local Journal. (James Parry) “…a swinging, upbeat fun-filled homage to the 60’s, All Grown Up is perfect summer theatre…. awed by the sheer talent of the three young actors. This dynamic trio has a smash hit on their hands. Go. It’s a blast.” |
