“Billings creates a multifaceted Cinderella, bringing to her feelings of jealousy, longing, disillusionment, betrayal, and finally, hope.”
PAUL BATTERSON (BROADWAY WORLD)
“The gifted Olivia Billings is just perfect as cheer captain Shannon, and she overflows with perkiness and an aura of leadership.”
ZANDER OPPER (TALKIN’ BROADWAY)
“Billings is touching and immensely funny, especially in a 30-second sequence that finds the actress trying to speak wearing a mouth guard. Priceless.”
TOM HOLEHAN (CONNECTICUT CRITICS CIRCLE)
“As Brooklyn’s dearly departed mother Faith, Olivia Billings is wonderful. Her best work—delivered with energy, passion, and precision—takes place as an ensemble member. She does nothing to steal focus, but it is nonetheless difficult to take your eyes off her.”
BOB ABELMAN (CLEVELAND JEWISH NEWS)
“Olivia Billings is a hoot in her outrageous outfits as Matilda’s vulgar, brassy mother Mrs. Wormwood.”
LAURA DEMARCO (THE PLAIN DEALER)
“Tim Allen and Olivia Billings, who are hilarious from their huge hair to their flamboyant footwear”
“Along with fine dancing, Olivia Billings brings a great voice to her character of Mrs. Wormwood. In this role, Billings is shrill, slightly dim-witted and annoying—which is a proper portrayal for this mother we should all hate. ”
“Olivia Billings’ Hermia enlists audience empathy amid misdirected desires and unwanted attentions.
Yet, at the same time, Billings is hilarious in her determination and exasperation.”
