Reviews
"Poehling turns in a convincing, workmanlike performance as Eugenie — caught between devotion to her mother and her own romantic longings for Sam."
- Robert Trussel, the Kansas City Star
"As for Poehling, Wigley, and Campagna, their characters serve as support for the leads, but their acting creates strong, memorable characters that stand out. All of them create strong performances and show their ability to deliver a strong stage presence... and are formidable in their own right."
"...and Elise Poehling makes her debut in A Year with Frog and Toad. Each masterfully taking on several roles of furry or feathered creatures who are friends of Toad and Frog. There are not enough adjectives to describe how superbly this entire cast performs."
"There is not a weak link in this cast. Francisco Javier Villegas, Emily Shackelford, and Elise Poehling played a variety of characters as one of the tightest ensembles I have seen."
- Kristen Henning, KCMetropolis.org
"The second act included... a hauntingly beautiful rendition of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” sang by Maggie Marx, Elise Poehling, and Emily Shackelford."
"A special strength of this show is the variety of voices. There is not a weak voice in this entire cast... audiences will enjoy the talents of... Elise Poehling."
"Elise Poehling, Shon Ruffin and Licia Watson appear to enjoy themselves and one another in successive standout performances. Among many other memorable moments... "You've Got That Thing" (Eisenreich and Poehling)"
"Elise Poehling...provided some comic dialogue, some fun vocals [and] performances. Poehling’s performance exuded happiness as [her] shimming shoulders could not stop moving."
"The top to bottom strong cast make the show enchanting for the entire audience–young and old. They all give fun performances and give their characters a flair and panache. This ensemble cast proves there are no small parts in a show. Together, the audience can tell they enjoy their production."
