REVIEWS

The Sound of Music, Theatre By The Sea

To Kill A Mockingbird, Thomaston Opera House

"Young Jean Louise ‘Scout’ Finch (played masterfully by Bobbie Celine Doherty) and her brother, Jem, are fascinated with the people of their small Alabama town ...

The Music Man, Theatre By The Sea

"Bobbie Celine Doherty excellently plays Amaryllis who has a crush on Winthrop. She hits the wrong note on purpose during “Piano Lesson” and displays a strong singing voice in “Goodnight My Someone.” She steals many a scene with her astounding stage presence. Her rifle scene with Eulalie is hilarious."

The Sound of Music, Granite Theatre

“But it is the Von Trapp children (Rodger, Andrew Faria, Spencer Stanley, Grace Gilbert, Brigid Fitzgerald, Chloe Morehouse and Bobbie Doherty) who, appropriately enough, provide some of the most charming musical and dramatic performances of the evening. Under the stage and musical direction of David Jepson and Stephen DeCesare, and choreographed by Lisa Clough, this septet of junior thespians truly lights up the stage and delight the audience with their smiles, timing and energy. From Rodger’s defiant yet vulnerable Liesl, to Stanley’s chuckling and enthusiastic Kurt, to little Doherty’s endearing and adorable Gretl, the young cast is to be congratulated for their flawless performance.”

• The Westerly Sun

“Another highlight of the show is the seven talented performers who play the children. They play their parts marvelously, making them realistic and not robotic. Some of the best child performers around. From the exuberance of "Do Re Mi" to the fright of "Lonely Goatherd" to the excitement of "So Long Farewell" to the harmonic, poignant "Sound of Music" and the frightened rendition of the concert numbers, these children also excel with strong line deliveries and facial expressions."
