COUNTESS ANDRENYI IN MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS

"The aforementioned Kvashny glimmers as the mysterious Countess, and there’s a moment late in the going when she shows herself to be the strongest dramatically among the supporting cast."
-David Coddon for Stage West

"Other standouts in the cast are Kvashny as the lovely and smart Countess"
-Erin Marie Reiter for Broadway World

"Other standouts in the cast are San Diego-raised Ariella Kvashny as the elegant Hungarian Countess Andrenyi...Some actors, like Sellon, Kvashny and Ashdown, maintain excellent accents."
-Pam Kragen for The SD Union Tribune

DAISY ARUJO IN MYSTIC PIZZA

"Ariella Kvashny is a standout as Daisy Arujo. She’s strong, she’s sassy, and she isn’t afraid to speak her mind, particularly when it comes to her budding romance with Charles. Kvashny plays this role exceptionally well, and her voice stands out as one that really works for the pop tunes."
-Kirsten Bjork for White Birch

"Ariella Kvashny is Daisy (the Julia Roberts role); she combines brashness with vulnerability. Perhaps more than the others, you see Daisy’s doubts about herself. During the musical, she slowly emerges into a more confident version of herself."
-Karen Isaacs for Two on the Aisle

"Kvashny performs the role of Daisy with a fiery edge, especially in her arguments with younger sister Kat, who evokes jealousy in Daisy with her intelligence and innocence... Kvashny’s performance highlights the complexity of Daisy’s character."
-Noel Teter for The Medium
 

EVA PERON IN EVITA

"Kvashny as Eva is excellent, managing the trick of balancing these complex vocals, and portraying the major life arc of this captivating if calculating woman. Her manners and voice become more nuanced with each accession in the social stratosphere, but she also allows for vulnerability and tenderness, especially when dispatching Perón’s young mistress.  Kvashny also poignantly performs “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” and when she raises her hands in the iconic balcony scene even the audience cheered."
-ErinMarie Reiter for Broadway World
 

"Ariella Kvashny gives a fierce, multilayered and ultimately haunting performance as the ambitious Eva"
-Pam Kragen for San Diego Union Tribue

"The heavy acting and singing lifting is handled by the title character, played by Ariella Kvashny..this Evita does send sympathetic vibes to the audience in her character’s painful final scenes. But nobody can argue against Kvashny’s potent voice that reaches piercing intensity."
-Dan Zeff for Stage and Cinema

"As Kvashny told me in a recent interview I did with her for The San Diego Union-Tribune, this part Is the biggest she’s ever had in her still young career. And she nails it... she demonstrates her formidable vocal range... Kvashny is a charismatic Eva who goes from good-time-girl to the most influential woman in the country in a stunningly short amount of time. Kvashny makes this transition credibly and her charisma – the fuel of Eva Peron’s rise to prominence – is redoubtable."
-David Coddon for Stage West

GLORIA ESTEFAN IN OYF

"Ariella Kvashny, a 22 year old recent college grad from Chula Vista, makes a stunning Moonlight debut as Gloria. She's got a powerful voice, strong dance and acting skills and, most important, sounds like Estefan."
-Pam Kragen for The San Diego Union Tribune

"Kvashny is well suited to play the multiple Grammy award-winner...She channels the artist's voice in clear, even tones."
-E'Louise Ondash for The Coast News
