BROADWAY TO VEGAS review excerpts:
"Every part of this recording is deliciously entertaining…fresh, clever, entertaining, funny and topical….The lyrics are insightful, and sad…The script covers a lot of territory and does so with the artistic skill of an Olympic champion….Expert musical compositions... Compassion for both skaters….The CD is stunningly awesome."

Ashley Spencer as TONYA
Lauren Worsham as NANCY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MORE excerpts from BROADWAY WORLD:
"Worsham and Spencer are utterly magnetic as characters we think we already know. ….In this version, Tonya voiced with the perfect combination of toughness and heart by Ashley Spencer is the not just the bad guy and Nancy played by the angelic voiced Lauren Worsham is not the just the victim. ....."

Tony LePage as 'Jeff G'
Nancy Opel as 'Mom(s)' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
More from BROADWAY WORLD on the CD:
"[Elizabeth] Searle expertly uses specific language to highlight how Nancy (Lauren Worsham) and Tonya (Ashley Spencer) are two sides of the same coin: ambitious and talented with mommy issues, but polar opposites in approach and style... Spencer and Worsham are spectacular."

BROADWAY WORLD reviews the new CD; headline: 'TONYA & NANCY GET HIGH MARKS'
BROADWAY WORLD review excerpts:
"Tonya and Nancy, a rock opera by Elizabeth Searle and Michael Teoli, combines a clever rock score with one of the most infamous figure skating rivalries in history, a story so wild that it's almost stranger than fiction… Searle and Teoli have some serious musical chops: the music is driving and distinctive…the score has moments of PURE BRILLIANCE."
