"It takes a lot of guts – not to mention talent – for a small company to perform an award-winning play that was later turned into an award-winning film...The entire cast maintains undeniable chemistry despite the fact that all four characters never seem to interact as a whole group during the entire play... Rounding out the cast is Erin Cronican as Anna, who as a woman torn between two men has the heaviest role although Cronican shows an incredible range of emotion with her expressive voice and features...[This] production of Closer is a rare but welcome example of a cast which is stronger than its material."

-- Chris McKittrick, Daily Actor

"In this staging, in particular, both women seem powerless and unable to save themselves from being hurt and pushed around by the men’s infantile sexual and romantic whims. This may be due in part to the fact that actress Erin Cronican brings a greater vulnerability to Anna than I have seen in past performances. Her soft toned delivery and wide eyes show Anna to be a well meaning woman who can’t save herself from the imposing will of men. When she cheats on Larry with Dan and then on Dan with Larry she hardly seems responsible for her behavior...Overall the performances from the cast were strong, carrying the script’s unfolding emotions strongly enough for the story lines to remain completely riveting... Erin Cronican’s performance gives Anna enough vulnerability for her to be an entirely sympathetic character... Thanks to both well-timed music and convincing performances, the play had not a single dull moment."

-- Adrienne Urbanski, Theater is Easy

"The Seeing Place brought their characteristic (and indefatigable) enthusiasm to the piece. Standouts included Artistic Director Brandon Walker as Malvolio, Associate Artistic Director Anna Marie Sell as Olivia, Erin Cronican as Maria, and the inventive Nathan Ramos as Andrew Aguecheek."

-- Molly Hagan, Broadway World

"The Seeing Place Theater Company dedicates itself to the reality of the play; it strives to show conflict and characters as something universal, human, and real... Almost all the humor of Twelfth Night is ... between Sir Toby Belch (Jorge Hoyos), Andrew Aguecheek (Nathan Ramos), and Maria (Erin Cronican). These three actors manage to balance slice-of-life performance with more theatrical techniques that keep them lively and interesting. Almost every member of the cast achieves the acting style magnificently..."

-- Emily Hockaday, Show Business Weekly

"The strength of this production clearly lies in the performance of its actors... Erin Cronican as Maria is also a highly competent actress."

-- Ron S. Covar, Best of Off-Broadway

"The score is full of wonders, and the richly talented cast performs it expertly. This is truly musical comedy, a now extinct species, and it is a marvel to me that you can find performers who can still do it... As the object of [Tom's] affection, a wily reporter, Erin Cronican is enormously winning, excelling in "Once in a Lifetime" and "I Said It and I'm Glad." 

-- Howard Kissel, NY Daily News

"What a wonderful cast director Hector Coris has. Erin Cronican excells as Angie, the magazine writer who’s been assigned to study these drop-outs. Spencer Plachy charms as Tom, the most industrious of the idle with whom she falls in love... Styne's music deserves to be better known, for... the lyrics are fun, [and] 'Once In A Lifetime' [is] a bouncy piece of optimism."

-- Peter Filichia, Theatermania

"As Angie, Erin Cronican is nicely vulnerable and connects well with her lyrics..."

-- Erik Haagensen, Backstage.com

"Co-starring in the show with Lorenz is Erin Cronican, who's poised, likable and has a lovely melodic voice... Cronican has a sweet tone to her voice, a classy stage presence, and she makes her character's pain believable. Her phrasing and delivery are terrific, particularly in the comic "A Summer in Ohio" and the opening "Still Hurting."

-- North County Times, San Diego

"As the idealized wife, Cathy, Erin Cronican [is] persuasive dramatically. Her Cathy is a pretty blonde too passive for her own good, unable to rise to the challenge of New York and the kind of artists the city breeds... Her best moments came in the every-actors-nightmare number, "Climbing Uphill." Part humiliating audition, part internal monologue, it's a dazzling short story encapsulating life in the theater."

-- San Diego Union Tribune

"The performers at the Cuillo Centre are so winning and the music so infectious that they are justification enough for the whole exercise. As Cindy, Erin Cronican is endlessly perky, even when her world comes crashing down around her. She dashes through the period's many dance crazes with aplomb and a straight face-- no easy task."

-- Palm Beach Post, West Palm Beach, FL

"The cast includes Erin Cronican as the devastated Cindy who goes from despair singing about The End of the World to her much more self-assured These Boots Are Made For Walkin’ . Erin’s expressions, from poutiness to her goggling over Laundromat customer “Mr. Right,” are fittingly exaggerated for this silly but fun spoof...anyone who likes Sixties hits and good, semi-clean fun is likely to have a great time at this Wash-o-Rama.

-- San Diego Playbill

"Victoria’s (Erin Cronican) story and her age change as we regress from a bride-to-be to a child. Cronican is marvelous handling the stresses of each age completely naturally. As a bride-to-be, she is a happy young woman looking forward to a new and exciting life. That is until Reflections enters. As she regresses in age her movements and her speech capture the age exactly. The best performance of the evening. "

-- TMCPress.com

"Erin Cronican, an immensely appealing actress skilled at balancing vulnerability, concluded the evening in James Anthony Ellis’ “Pieces,” a series of losses regressing backwards through a woman/girl’s life. Len Irving is around for the occasional response but essentially this is a monologue of a sentimental, lachrymose sort..."

-- San Diego.com

"The Lavoisiers (Cronican and Dodge) share many of the best scenes and both turn in fantastic performances."

-- San Diego Playbill

"Director Bryan Bevell has assembled a game local cast. The women, especially, often sparkle... Erin Cronican is the shrewdest of the lot, as Marie Anne Lavoisier."

-- San Diego Union-Tribune

"Last night it was my privilege to attend Erin Cronican's farewell performance at Schroeder's. We are going to miss this talented actress/singer/dancer. 'The Callback' was the name of her performance in which she blended her inimitable song styling with a touch of humor. The room was filled with the creme de la creme of the San Diego theatre scene, which meant I had to bribe my way in. Those that missed the show, missed a wonderful experience."

-- San Diego Theater Scene

"My god what a fantastic show ! Erin, you did it ! One of the best performances I have seen in many years. Trust me I am not an easy audience. You had me laughing and crying at the same time, making it difficult to hold on to the follow spot. Your show was put together like you had a staff of the best writers and producers in the business. To make me happy, other performers will need to come up to your level of excellence. Your audience loved you. You are a star."

-- Venue staff member

"Erin Cronican's debut at Schroeder's with Cris O'Bryon was fantastic. We had a wonderful comment from a patron who told me that she was so happy to have been one of the only 50 or 60 people in San Diego who were lucky enough to have heard Erin at Schroeder's that night."

-- Sher Kreiger, Producer

"Dear Erin, You are Terrific. The evening was delightful. I loved your choices. Some very demanding pieces... I could have listed to you and Cris all night...Thank you for a memorable evening."

-- Audience Member

"Erin Cronican plays sainthood tongue-in-cheek as the Angel who makes Prior prophet in hopes that God will come to heaven... The actors all double and triple cast except for Prior, make the most of every opportunity Kushner provides, and are especially amusing in the Mormon Museum and 'I'm In Heaven' scenes."

-- Backstage Magazine

"Erin Cronican is Glinda, the beautiful Good Witch of the North. And if you weren't sure that she was good from her beauty and her pink dress and the big pink bubble she floats around in, Erin's voice is laced with such sugary sweetness and elegance, whether she's admitting to being "a little muddled" or singing "you're out of the woods, you're out of the dark, you're out of the night," there can be no doubt as to her being chock full of gooey-gumdrop goodness."

-- San Diego Playbill

"Erin Cronican makes a delightful return in this solo piece about a woman waiting, but trying not to wait, for a phonecall from a guy, while she analyzes every syllable he uttered for deeper significance “What is he thinking? He said ‘Later.”). Ultimately, she asserts her independence and self-respect – sort of... Just about everything I saw was top-notch, especially in terms of acting and directing – and isn’t that what it’s all about? A marvelous showcase for local talent."

-- San Diego Theatre Scene

"Some of San Diego's best actors combined to put together this all-star cast...Jack Banning... is complemented by one of San Diego's brightest new talents, Erin Cronican, who was so impressive earlier this year in San Diego Rep's world premiere of Oxygen and as Glinda in Starlight's The Wizard of Oz. Erin's enthusiastic portrayal of the bold but frightened young Pippa made this one of the liveliest readings I've yet seen."

-- San Diego Playbill

"Vincent has [an] effervescent daughter, Christy (the glorious Erin Cronican)... Cronican absolutely is the one great thing in O'Mary's. Her characterizations are fleshed out nicely and it helps that she can sing, and beautifully at that. "Lost and Found," one of the ballads of the show could be just another number until Cronican saves it halfway through. When she belts out one of the other numbers "Keep That Rock and Roll Spirit," we can easily see the talent behind the so-so numbers. Once again, the material does not shine as nicely as the performer."
