From LA.com: Broadway Talent Abounds In ‘The Light In The Piazza’

Reviews
The Light in the Piazza
“I’ve seen three other Claras, including Tony-nominated Kelli O’Hara, and Tansley may well be the best of the bunch. Clara has a secret, you see, one that even she doesn’t understand, and Tansley’s bubbly childlike joy at the very un-Winston-Salem-like beauties of Florence (“That’s a completely naked statue!”) reveal the actress’s gifts and absolute rightness for the part. Vocally, Tansley couldn’t be better in “The Beauty Is,” “Say It Somehow,” and the title song, and her endearing and heart-breaking performance is equally stunning.” – Stage Scene LA

“Brooke Tansley manages the delightful balance of passion and innocence necessary to carry off Clara – at once a standard ingenue, and a confusable child. She sings with that same kind of not-quite-childlike clarity. It’s a lovely portrait.” – Pasadena Star-News

“Ms. Tansley and Mr. D’Amico, who both sing like a dream and look suitably romantic, might as well look forward to playing these roles again – they are perfectly suited to play this young couple, and have the vocal chops necessary to make the music soar.” – Stage Mage

“Clara (Brooke Tansley) is a beautiful 26-year-old whose childlike enthusiasm for life is evidenced in her exuberance, and Tansley’s voice is well up to the complex melodies that permeate Guettel’s score.” – Backstage

Little Fish
“Brooke Tansley plays Anne Frank, a shy little girl with an unfortunate name. Ms. Tansley’s Anne is charming and wise, possibly the character in the play with the firmest grip on reality.” – Mooche Music

At Wit’s End – world premiere production
“One of the most comical roles is that of the starry-eyed blond actress Helen Hayes (Brooke Tansley), who is constantly complaining she has not been given enough stage time. At one point, in an attempt to steal the show, Tansley enters (à la Lucille Ball) disguised as a bellhop and dancing furiously in pink-satin toe shoes.” – Miami Arts

In Service – world premiere play at Seven Angels Theatre, written by screenwriter Mary Hanes
“Brooke Tansley is a natural fit for the part of Rebecca Tuckwell, the estranged daughter of Gibbon’s deceased employer. She brings exactness and newness to this ingenue role.” – James V. Ruocco, Waterbury Republican-American
