"...the voluptousness of Thomas' alto and the vividness of her presentation galvanize a live audience" - Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

"Thomas offers a sublimely intoxicating peformance that reveals an artist of extraordinary range and skill that we thought we had seen, but obviously have only glimpsed before" - Jeff Rossen, Gay Chicago Magazine and Cabaret Scenes Magazine

"Through the course of the night Thomas will seduce you, entertain you, amuse you, and inspire you" - Paul Barile, Chicago Arts and Entertainment

"With an entrance that just about grabs you by the lapel and pulls you back to a mightclub 1941, MaryMonica Thomas informs the audience that she's ready to tear the house down" - Paul Barile, Chicago Arts and Entertainment

"Ms. Thomas' research for this show is impeccable" - Todd Shuman, Cabaret Hotline

"Thomas delivers a richly textured and seductively nuanced performance"... "that would shame many an opera diva" - Jeff Rossen, Gay Chicago Magazine and Cabaret Scenes Magazine

"[Thomas] has been successful in Chicago cabarets because she is a singer, dancer, and actress, what is known in the business as a "triple threat" - Terry Loncaric, Kane County Chronicle
