"Saige Smith as Dot quickly endears the audience with her facial expressions and gestures, up close and personal for all to see, as Dot attempts unsuccessfully to get George to communicate with her in the show’s opening scenes. She makes a pretty spunky and funny Marie, young George’s grandmother in Act II.

Front Porch Theatricals’ production of Sunday in the Park with George is an absolute must-see. All the elements work together in perfect harmony- Sondheim’s music, Lapine’s book, great story, brilliant casting, fabulous voices, superb design, and a full orchestra.

Plus, you get to see Saige Smith in the role that made her a star!"

-Sharon Eberson, Onstage Pittsburgh



"Our two leads, Aaron Galligan-Stierle and Saige Smith, expertly both differentiate and unite their characters separated by the generations. Smith finds the warmth, humor and forward-thinking attitude in both Dot and Marie. The scenes in which she rails against the stuffiness of Paris or the single-minded obsession of Seurat are comic highlights, whether she's spitting rapid-fire lyrics in one of Sondheim's famous patter songs, or just reacting wordlessly in an effortlessly silly bit of physical comedy. She sings with that luminous, bright mezzo-soprano tone we associate with her; it's not for nothing that Saige Smith is almost synonomous with Pittsburgh's theatrical scene."

-Greg Kerestan, Broadway World



"Smith was a delight. She gets to explore the most emotional range, from sarcasm to anger to excitement, and both her acting and her gorgeous singing fit each beat perfectly."

-Alexis Papalia, Trib Live



"Smith has been frequently praised here for her work in the Pittsburgh theatre arts scene. It’s another great performance.

Side note: This reviewer does not like it when young people play old people. It’s usually done in an over-the-top Katherine Hepburn in “On Golden Pond,” all body shakes, and warbly squawking, but Smith isn’t over-the-top or ridiculous. It’s a poignant portrayal."

-Michael Buzzelli, ‘Burgh Vivant



"Add to this the stellar, stunning and stirring talent of Saige Smith. She’s no Bernadette Peters because she can play any role, and has often, most recently with Front Porch in their spring musical Baby, but also in dozens of local productions. A local reporter in 2020 wrote about her intent to move to New York to pursue the stage; how lucky is Pittsburgh to have her talent still on our own stages. Yet, with a performance like the one she delivered on opening night of Sunday in the Park she has every right and reason to claim her due fame elsewhere. Both Galligan-Stierle and Smith are alone (better yet, together) worth the price of admission for this spectacular show."
