REVIEWS
“Stephanie DiMaggio’s performance as a lust-inspiring country wench, who suggests a hybrid of Amy Winhouse and Sophia Loren, melds cross-cultural references into a delicious and original comic creation.”
- BEN BRANTLEY, THE NEW YORK TIMES
(“Love's Labor's Lost" The Public Theater)
“DiMaggio…tells a whole play’s worth of story with gestures and expressions that shows progression from dubious to shocked to kittenish to moved, all with hardly a word.”
- VARIETY
("Love’s Labors Lost" The Public Theater)
"Ms. DiMaggio and Ms. Pawk light the stage with fireworks in this and all scenes in the play. Their craft is remarkable and unswerving. It is a gift to see these two actors square off with one another in a duet of thrilling bravura performances.”
- THEATRE REVIEWS LIMITED
("17 Orchard Point" Off-Broadway)
“Across-the-board stellar performances reinforce an already great play; DiMaggio endows Mary Jane with the driving hunger of a smart girl from humble origins still settling the score with the rich kids.”
-THEATERMANIA
("Jesus Hopped the A-Train" Signature Theater)
“DiMaggio draws all the comic male characters to her like bees to honey, she gets the biggest laughs with the fewest lines. That’s because DiMaggio underplays Jaquenetta’s sexuality and slowly allows her to delight in her power over the males.”
