"As Ophelia, singing and staggering in a mad, disheveled state, Smith seemed to be teetering on the edge, both mentally and physically. Her sung lamentations were a highlight of the night."

-Sharon Eberson, Onstage Pittsburgh


"While Smith shines in every scene as Ophelia, she sings her manic monologue and it’s soulful, rocking dirge that leads to her final moments on the stage. Smith is delightfully demented."

-Michael Buzzelli, ‘Burgh Vivant


"Carpenter stages Ophelia’s mad scene as a rock performance as Smith sinks into despair using a microphone like a star singer. She has a great voice and delivers a powerful version of suicidal madness. It’s one of the show’s highlights."

-Bob Hoover, Onstage Pittsburgh
