The Misanthrope
"... Amy Russ, a life force of a Célimène whose brains and charm
go a long way toward ameliorating her romantic duplicity and unabashed
coquetry..."
"Russ is sexy, frisky, and exudes joie de vivre as the young woman in
love with love and possessing an abundance of self-esteem. Still, she
is convincing in her more serious moments when faced with pressure
from her lovers to make choices that cause her discomfort or oozing
vitriol toward a spurious friend."
"Russ is effortlessly charming and strikes a compelling
counterpoint with Reynolds."
"Amy Russ is a keeper. Charming and seductive, she makes Alcestes of
us all. We’re putty in her hands. We know Célimène is flawed, but when
you look at her, impeccably dressed in designer Rafael Jean’s gorgeous
costumes, and you watch her playful banter and easy smile, you have a
hard time remembering why. And Russ’ performance runs far deeper than
just her beauty. When Célimène gets her comeuppance near the end of
Act Two, Russ breaks your heart. She doesn’t say a word, but her pain
is written in her eyes, brow and mouth. That’s acting."
"The cast does a stellar job of delivering the sparkling and funny
dialogue with several outstanding performances including Amy Russ as Célimène."
"Amy Russ, as the effervescent object of his affection, seems to
thrive on society. She lacerates what's left of his dignity with an
almost feminist zeal. She can give anyone as good as she gets and her
power to shred is so exhilarating that I didn't want her to
capitulate, even when comeuppance was clearly due."
It's A Wonderful
Life: A Live Radio Play
"These actors are pros that stand inches away from you and yet manage
to transport you to another time, another world. Matt Worley and Amy
Russ seem to really fall in love right before your eyes."
The Ice-Breaker
"[The] production . . . is blessed with fine performances: . . . Lyman
and Russ give these characters real dimension and life."
"Amy Russ flings herself around him, like a loving atomic moth, her
radiance feeding emotional swings reminiscent of college youth
searching for meaning, at once exhibiting unbound desires and crushing
disappointments - revealing just enough pluck to dust herself off
after setbacks."
Kerouac
"a standout singer"
Frankenstein ... do you dream
“Vocally, Amy Russ stands out as Elizabeth Lavenza, Victor
Frankenstein’s fiancée/wife, as does Philip Hernández as Daemon, the
monster. The wedding song … has an interesting, catchy melody and when
it becomes a three-part harmony, sung by Schulman, Hernández, and
Russ, it is quite beautiful.”
It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play
"The famous scene where he offers Mary the moon - sends
viewers into a romantic trance and the phone conversation which led to
George and Mary's first embrace was filled with more passion in the
play than in the movie."
Charles and Diana - The Musical
"Amy Russ, Natalie Delena, and Kiirstin Kuhi dazzle as a trio of
utility players . . ."
Parallel Lives
"Amy Russ, most striking, most accomplished vocally, throws herself
entirely into what she is doing - she does not stint." Love, Sex, & the IRS
"Amy Russ adds plenty of spice and femme fatale sparks to this
volatile comedy mix." Milk & Honey Nine "Amy Russ gives a brilliant performance, breathing life into Carla,
a seductive siren who plays on Guido's passions. Her singing of 'A
Call from the Vatican' and 'Simple' show her excellent range." "Songs like the sultry 'A Call from the Vatican' (scorchingly
handled by Amy Russ) … captured a dramatic power … " The Fantasticks Where's Charley? "Amy Russ has an innocent-flirty charm." Jerry's Girls "a dynamic performer" |
